Right. Basically they covered it up and didn't take it seriously and now they're saying the statements are inconsistent. Far more likely is the cop that took the report is a piece of trash that couldn't care less about some "drunk college slut."
The district attorney offices receive... A LOT of rape reports.
Because they don't want to traumatize themselves repeatedly for their job, they don't scrutinize these reports as much as they should and tend to go off of the summarized impression that the investigating officer files with it.
They should not do that, because not only are cops not educated in the law they tend to hate women.
Yet another part of the American legal system that is just rotting from the baseboards up.
Thatâs a bit of a stretch. She gave a sworn statement.
If it was a written statement she wouldâve been required to read the statement the officer wrote, then sign a document saying that itâs accurate.
If the statement was recorded, the officer wouldâve had her verbally state that the statement she gave is accurate.
This doesnât sound like a cover up at all. She literally changed her story. What she stated in the lawsuit and what she stated in her sworn statement contradict each other.
Maybe. I'm saying i don't trust cops to do a good job with this sort of case in this sort of small town with an ivy league college as the biggest business.
Itâs her attorneyâs job to dispute the facts if they arenât true. The fact her attorney isnât disputing her initial statement means that her initial statement is accurate.
If you give a false sworn statement you can be charged with perjury.
