Alleged Victim Takes Stand In Steubenville Rape Trial

Judge to rule Sunday morning

March 16, 2013 11:30 PM

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2013/03/16/defense-questions-2-former-friends-of-victim-in-steubenville-rape-case/

While the trial was taking place. Wonder if they've changed in follow-up stories. Because the evidence was heard before that, videos, etc. before Saturday.

Perhaps, they don't want to be sued, but really. They knew she was raped from the overwhelming electronic evidence, but the trial wasn't over.

Even if the two little media darlings got off, she was raped.
