90. Sadly, you say what I was thinking.

An alleged rape victim gets more benefit of the doubt than the mother of a murdered child. It can be a fishy case in either of them, but only after more information has presented itself. There certainly is precedent both ways. It seems that a sore nerve had been struck to warrant the way this thread has gone. I feel bad that, that is so. Certainly some trauma caused it.

It is not unreasonable to keep an open mind, but to so forcefully present the doubts, does an inservice. Of course I have been proven wrong on several occasions, but would rather be wrong than right. I hope this does not mean I am arrogant, just that since being here on DU, and having had several "discussions", I have learned much in the way of charity, I think. Also, my eyes have been opened the opposite way. I hope this makes sense.
