Reply #46: As another woman, I was biased in her favor, initially. [View All]

I'll admit it. But that was when the prosecutor was loudly proclaiming that the DNA evidence would prove which of the (then) 46 defendants were guilty.

Except the DNA evidence didn't come through for him, even though the rape kit was used within hours of the "attack." So he indicted two defendants anyway.
Then it turned out that one of the defendents had about as strong an alibi as ANYONE EVER HAS -- complete with time stamped video and camera photos, etc. So he indicted a third defendant.
Then it turned out that the witness only identified the third defendant with "90% certainty" -- IF he had the mustache that the video shows he DIDN'T have.
And then we learned that the line-up photos were limited to members of the lacrosse team only.

And somewhere along the line, I lost my bias toward the woman, and began to wonder what kind of justice system we are going to have if we accept the way the State of North Carolina has handled this case?
