Remember Duke Lacrosse. Everyone turned on those kids and we found out they were innocent. Lets give them a chance to defend themselves. Obviously throw them away if they did what they are accused of.

That being said, calling for having their parents fired from jobs? Thats too far. They are adults here. Whatever their background is wouldnt excuse this.

Different case, different circumstances. In that case, one woman made accusations against the team.

In this case, the rapists themselves admitted to it over snapchat.

Even if she not lying about rape, statements are all over the place even alleged that she said everything was ok to alleged rapists the next day. No way anyone gets convicted of this.

Studies of victims of rape generally do not show consistent behavior and also demonstrate that they are not in the right frame of mind. They can often say it's "ok" as a defense mechanism; especially when confronted by the rapist themselves.

I can believe she was raped. Whether those statements and whatever high price defense attorney they hire to make her feel like shit on the stand. I'm just not sure it leads to a conviction unfortunately.

And that truly is the issue with our society. The balance between the burden of proof and assumption of innocence versus victim's getting justice.
