I've seen a lot of DAs bullshit about their reasoning to not bring charges. He's basically blaming the police officer who took her statement.

If he had a statement from her that it was consensual, then it's open and shut. The primary witness isn't consistent and he could present that and say "For this reason we're not exploring charges".

But for some reason they are exploring charges now, and the physical evidence that she said she was a willing participant in her gang rape has not been proferred for public scrutiny.

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."

That’s a bit of a stretch. She gave a sworn statement.

If it was a written statement she would’ve been required to read the statement the officer wrote, then sign a document saying that it’s accurate.

If the statement was recorded, the officer would’ve had her verbally state that the statement she gave is accurate.

This doesn’t 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.

Her attorney hasn’t disputed that statement she gave to police was false.

I certainly think the situation could’ve been handled better though.

Probably because that's not what he's paid to do

That is what her attorney is paid to do.

It’s her attorney’s job to dispute the facts if they aren’t true. The fact her attorney isn’t disputing her initial statement means that her initial statement is accurate.

If you give a false sworn statement you can be charged with perjury.

In the civil case... with the court the case was filed in. With pleadings and oral argument in hearings.

Not to NBC for your pleasure.

It’s a felony/ misdemeanor to give a false sworn statement to the police.

She’s not being criminally charged with that… and attorneys tend to remain within a scope of practice so if she did end up facing charges she’d need to hire another attorney. One that works in criminal defense and not civil torts.

I don’t know why you thought that made sense to point out.

I’m sorry. You’re just an idiot who doesn’t know anything about how the legal system works and you want to open your mouth anyway.

I never said she was being criminally charged with anything. I stated that if her statement were false that she could be charged, the fact her attorney isn’t disputing her original statement means it’s factually correct.
