Cornell Rape Case

[thetragichippy]

This is a very interesting case if you look at it objectively.  

Her own text days later claim she was not raped and there was nothing done illegal.

Now, it has became a political bomb, just like the ME-TOO movement, where men were shamed out of giving an opinion. 

If that was not enough, they appoint Letitia James who a couple days earlier post on Facebook:

"What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers. To her, ad to all survivors: You're not alone. We stand with you." 

That statement to me sounds like she's made up her mind..... How in the world could they let her on this case.

The last thing this brings up is drinking and consent. Luckily New York has a rule if you drink or do drugs voluntarily, you can't claim non-consent, or something like that.  However, some are arguing she could not give consent because she was intoxicated. If the guys were intoxicated as well, shouldn't the law be applied equally?

I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.

Certainly no one wants such as accusation but it seems likely that the deck is going to be stacked against them. 

If they are guilty of the accusations then they need to be put under the jail with extreme prejudice  

Now we have the governor appointing the AG who seems not to be looking at the case to see what is true or can be proven but the decision is already made.

I think sexual assault kits should be performed up to 72 hours after the claimed assault but they may stretch the kits to maybe 7 days.

 If i read the article correctly, the kit was not performed for almost 3 weeks.

It seems like with the little that is known, there might definitely be some issues with reasonable doubt. It’s unfortunate because the complete truth might never come out.

I've read her own text, leaves reasonable doubt to me,

What is your thoughts about "consent" while intoxicated?
