Sunday's paper: what timing

In the universe of crime, acquaintance rape can be the most difficult to prove. He says sex was consensual. She says it was not. Often, there is precious little evidence, such as physical injuries or witnesses, to point one way or another.

But not this time. In this Arlington case, there were photos.

In 2007, after a night of drinking and drug use in her home, an Arlington woman happened upon her digital camera in the car of a man from the party. Scrolling through the pictures, she recognized several shots from the previous night, then came across a few she didn't. In those, she was passed out from the drugs and alcohol. The man was having sex with her and taking pictures as he did.

Despite photos, the grand jury did not indict.

1. Wonder how they

would have voted if the woman had been related to one of them?

Or, may be they were wishing they could force her to marry her rapist a la Old Testament.

2. This is disgusting

Grand juries that don't understand "consent". WTF?
