One of whom destroyed video of the assault. Because teammates never lie while a friend rapes a woman in a public restroom.

This is exactly the same as any other rape case. The guy gets off, he rapes again, women's lives are destroyed.

DNA, evidence of bruising and wounds, destroyed evidence, a deliberately bungled investigation and the typical cover up. Consent isn't optional. She says she didn't consent, she didn't consent. You don't get to determine whether a woman consents, nor does this Heisman asshole or his friends. She alone does, get it? So what if some friends of his claimed otherwise?

If just one time people wouldn't fall over themselves to defend an accused rapist around here. Men are always innocent and women always liars, even though the FBI stats show false allegations only account for 4% of charges made. You can pretend this is about one man, but I reject that. Substitute the name and day and it's the exact same story. I've seen the same excuses for several other rapists this week. That is rape culture, and this botched investigation is a prefect example of it. Rape is in effect legal because too many consider consent a minor issue.

The first sign is she doesn't say No. And the drunk ones are tricky, I usually stay away Blanket Statements Dec 2013 #43

Yeah, usually...exceptions would be girlfriends or regular hookups Blanket Statements Dec 2013 #51

How do you know when they deleted the video? woolldog Dec 2013 #114

Well that brings up a different problem gollygee Dec 2013 #116

First of all, woolldog Dec 2013 #119

How do we know when it was deleted? Easy. LisaL Dec 2013 #120

The point wasnt when the video was deleted.... woolldog Dec 2013 #122

Well you could have fooled me. LisaL Dec 2013 #123

Yes, IF that is true, woolldog Dec 2013 #124

Problem is she wasn't drunk according to the toxicology Finnmccool Dec 2013 #129

That's not true. LisaL Dec 2013 #132

That would mean impaired not drunk Finnmccool Dec 2013 #133

If she went driving with that BAC, nobody would be saying she wasn't drunk. LisaL Dec 2013 #138

I believe the accuser claimed she was blackout drunk woolldog Dec 2013 #140

And BAC of 0.1 can obviously cause impairement since it's above the legal limit to drive. LisaL Dec 2013 #141

It's nowhere near blackout drunk. woolldog Dec 2013 #142

Not even drunk? What on earth are you talking about? LisaL Dec 2013 #143
