Reply #160: I only care about the evidence, not the innuendo [View All]

[Nikki Stone1]

I don't particularly care how many men she had sex with or whether she drank anything or whether she had a history of mental illness--rape is rape. I also can understand if small points of a story shift somewhat over time. Having been in a pretty traumatic auto accident (not my fault) I know how you can begin to doubt your own recollection of events over time, even when you think you have a clear memory of what happened. So all of the character "evidence" doesn't rule out the possibility of the young woman having been raped.

What does bother me is the lack of DNA evidence (and no explanation for it if condoms weren't used or if there wasn't some kind of evidence of "clean-up" after the fact). I am also disturbed by Nifong's actions, which are unethical. I had not read about this case for a great many reasons, but I can see why he has been disbarred.
