Why cry rape? Why make all victims look bad...or worse, make them look like liars?! Rape is one of the only crimes where the victim is on the defense. They might not be taken seriously or deemed credible, they are constantly questioned and thus victimized again. What this woman did continues to cause a "chilling effect" for other women to come forward and receive justice.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
Why did the woman go to the hospital? Was it to make her claim look legit? If that is the case, why did the nurse and doctors state that she had suffered vaginal trauma and other bruising? There must have been enough evidence for the prosecutor to move forward with the case. I just can't believe a lawyer would jeopardize his/her career to prosecute a case that is questionable. What was Nifong's motive? What happened to this girl (if anything) and why did she accuse these players? Who is the father of her baby that she recently had? The gestation time frame works since she gave birth approximately 9 months after her alleged rape.
Is she a sociopath? A hypocondriac? Or just a dangerous compulsive liar?
Is she promiscious?
Why was she out so late?
Why was she talking to strange men?
So my question is, why would she lie?
Now I am trying to find out WHY DID SHE LIE?
I'm always the one that will admit when I am wrong. I was wrong. I believed the victim because I stand behind women in crimes of sexual assault. I was very angry at all the alleged heinous acts committed and then I disparaged the accused players.
It takes serious guts to come forward after a rape. The majority of women who are these victims NEVER report the crime. Why? They are afraid of rehashing the rape with anyone. They want to forget it because they know everyone would judge or question them.
Why was she at a bar drinking?What was she wearing?
Is she promiscious?
Why was she out so late?
Why was she talking to strange men?
This all comes from the police, the defense attorneys, certain family members or "friends", the media, and eventually the jury. Moving forward with a trial could backfire and create life-changing implications!
So my question is, why would she lie?
Now I am trying to find out WHY DID SHE LIE?
A BRIEF BACKGROUND
(Source) District Attorney Mike Nifong charged three Duke Lacrosse players with raping an exotic dancer hired to perform at their party on March 13, 2006. The dancer claimed that she was sexually assaulted in the bathroom of the house by three lacrosse players. DNA was taken from all members of the university lacrosse team, except for a single black player. DNA tests were not conclusive and did not prove that anyone on the team assaulted her. But DNA from other individuals was found in her underwear, among other places. A "Monica Lewinsky" perhaps?
WHAT'S THE LATEST?
The accuser's story continues to change and she is not cooperating. When she acknowledged late last year that she could not be sure if she was actually raped, Nifong dropped the rape charges. He is now facing ethics charges for allegedly concealing potentially exculpatory evidence that defense lawyers claim could have proved their clients' innocence. There have been rumors that the families of the three players may consider civil lawsuits against Nifong, Duke or the state of North Carolina if it turns out the accuser's story doesn't pan out and Nifong is found to be guilty of mishandling the case. His next court date is June 12, 2007.
