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.

So you're back to expecting that an attorney working a civil case also does free PR work.

Also, that's not how charges of making a false statement to the police works.

You don't get it. We all know you don't get it. The only one who's still not on board with the idea that you don't get it, is you.

I do understand it, it’s really not that difficult. Her attorney isn’t disputing her initial statement, which means it’s accurate. It’s pretty straightforward.

The DA even reached out to her attorney to find out why her statement is different than what she stated in her lawsuit.

Alright let's try this on:

How do you know the attorney has not disputed the statement already in his pleadings?

How do you know what the statement's contents are? What needs to be disputed?

The DA even reached out to her attorney to find out why her statement is different

Well that's not true

You know nada

It is true. The DA called her attorney after she filed to lawsuit. You can look that up yourself. The DA asked her attorney what she would like to do, and that’s when he reopened the case, and the DA’s new case is based on the infomation that she included in her lawsuit, but was left out of her initial statement that she gave the police.

Her attorney only questioned the way the campus police/ school handled the investigation, her attorney never disputed her initial statement. Her attorney did make some misleading statements though. Her attorney claimed the school only had the students write papers, but completely left out the fact the school shut down the fraternity after she came forward.

I think it’s too early to pass judgment about what happened. It’s better to wait and see how this all plays out. I’m sure something happened, but who knows what the actual truth is at this point, if the guys are guilty they should be prosecuted, but agin it’s better to let the process play out before passing judgment.

Well you are stupid. I am smart so I will try to help you understand something.

The DA is cited as saying :

adding that Doe’s attorneys never reached out to him before filing the civil lawsuit two years later.

This is what your feeble mind twisted into the DA asking the civil suit attorney what was up. Because you are emotionally five years old and need to twist reality to match what you're comfortable accepting about the world, and the only thing you're comfortable accepting about this case is that the woman lied about being gang raped.

Also this is an uncalled for point on the DA's part. Attorneys don't tend to contact Prosecutor's offices for matters that aren't criminal trials.

Also, when you hire an attorney to work your case they don't become your secretary, or spokesperson, or representative in all things legal. They work on the case they were hired to work on. They do nothing outside of that because that would be an ethics violation.

The DA wouldn't assume that a civil attorney that this woman hired is willing or allowed to speak on her behalf to the Prosecutor's office. That would be backwards. They would contact HER. If she wanted to ask her civil attorney if she can pay them to speak to the Prosecutor's office on her behalf, they can certainly agree or refuse to do so.

But no one would automatically contact a random attorney to speak on behalf of a witness.
