The local rag will have some updates in the morning. I'm sure one of us will post the links for the out-of-towners.

Let one of your soldiers be ACCUSED of a sex crime, child abuse, domestic violence, or racism, and see whether guilt has to be proven or not before people make decisions.
Today's Raleigh News & Observer headline, top of the front page:
"Team has swaggered for years".
Guess what side they are on?

Just heard on the "News" that NONE of the DNA of the Team Members MATCHED what was on or about the "victim"!?!?!?!
Maybe they just didn't offer to tip her enough?!?!?!

Nothing surprising here. The media found something to jump on and the escalation went from there. Someone already hit on the biggest reason for the DA to continue with prosecution, politics. Our judicial system is heavily influenced by money and politics. as you all already know. Work in law enforcement for a while and it won't take long to get a belly full of the state of our judicial system. High profile draws attention, DAs are elected. I believe that should say it all. As for the constitution, it applies only when convienent or so it seems. higher level courts can overturn decisions of the lower courts and the local levels can still get the "credit" they were looking for. Drama, politics and money.

I'm sure if the girl was white and was raped by members of a football team that was all black (except for one white guy), the accused players would have been "cleared" the minute the DNA evidence said they weren't there.
The black players would be on TV talking to Opra and other farts in the wind about how it was a witch hunt because they were black.
But if you're white, and cleared with DNA, you get to still possibly face a criminal trial...
