Unfortunately, in this case, the jury believed her lies. I just wonder if they thought a woman would never lie about rape? I am sure we will never know.
If that shows anything to everyone, it should show that it’s entirely possible to end up convicting innocent people (even by juries), so people should have a very high threshold for convicting someone.
Of course, that would mean that “others” would criticize such a system of giving as much benefit of the doubt as possible to the “accused” — as being “too soft on criminals”... doncha know... :-) [as we can all see on some of these FReeper threads, too...]
