Second, simply because the media is reporting what they choose to report doesn't mean you know all of the evidence the DA has or what he presented to the grand jury who makes the determination of whether charges can be filed. If the evidence wasn't compelling, then the grand jury could not return a true bill indictment and thus the charges would have to be dismissed. Third, stop saying these boys are "innocent." In the justice system people are "presumed innocent." Fourth, you can't pick your victim just like you can't pick your family. Simply because this lady has a criminal history doesn't necessarily means that she is lying about what happened. Fifth, in case you didn't know sports teams have a bond just like college fraternies. So many things go untold behind closed doors that you wouldn't believe. I don't give a damn how small the house is. Peer pressure is a bitch on college campuses. Victims and witnesses are literally threatened and ostracized if they open thier mouths. And lastly, unless you were there and know everything that happened that night, don't come to any conclusions about the defendants or the victim until you see what the evidence unfolds. Reason being, you don't know any of the people involved. All you have is an opinion. And opinions are just like assholes, everybody got one.<BR/><BR/>ShanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
