You know, I’d be perfectly happy with capital punishment for rape.
But I think it’s important that such a crime be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, not jumping to the conclusions that “women don’t lie about rape.”
Well, sure they do! Women, like men and children, lie about all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons.
I thought it interesting they gave the name of the purported rapist. Seems like a potential libel case.
She isn’t going for conviction. Her family just wants her to be able to get her medical benefits. Her VA records are gone. Once they are found she should be able to get help in about a year afterwards, right? If all goes well.
It’s been a little while, but the rapist has been arrested and is being investigated for 3 rapes and 2 murders.
