He obviously did this on purpose and unrepentantly, with an intent to shame her and open her up to harassment. The allegations were not determined to be "unfounded" by the criminal justice system and she didn't wait 20 months to file the claim.

Yes, lawyers love to intimidate those rape victims, don't they.... and then go "oops, sorry, didn't know anyone was listening when I made her name public"....

Tarred forever? Sorry I'd like to see some longitudinal studies proving that rapists carry around the shame and weight of the assault as bad as the victims? Or even 1/10th as bad? Or suffer any longterm consequences?

This may constitute retaliation under Title IX proceedings. I wouldn't allow the lawyer into the proceedings anymore if I were that investigator.

It's not just low, he's now endangered the accuser in this case. She must be terrified. This is an intimidation tactic he's using, instead of relying on the law.

because of assholes like you who send death threats.

That's just low. He should get his ass disbarred to see how he likes it. Scumbag.

I watched my Catholic grandmother die of pancreatic cancer and even though she was in SO much pain, she still dreaded death so much. I've never believed in god and always thought one of the main benefits of doing so was that, when it came time to die, while you know you'd miss the life you were leaving behind, at…

The D was cut short by forces outside of his control? OUCH.

Was she even Catholic? Why do religious institutions feel as if we all need to know their opinions on other people's actions? I don't give a fuck what the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life thinks about this woman's actions and I know that I'm not alone.

No, no, you don't understand, they're pissed because she didn't suffer in agony. That's why she's going to hell. They never pretended to give a fuck about her life, their only goal was to make sure she suffered, because apparently that would have brought her "closer to god" or some psycho bullshit like that.

Ugh, these people...if God has a plan, it's a pretty fucking shitty one that kills children and newlyweds with terminal cancer all willy-nilly. If God is real, he's an asshole.

People are "surprised" by this because there are people buying into the "Cool Pope" bullshit.

seconded.

What I don't get is how assisted suicide death with dignity is against God's will, but keeping someone alive via life support is not? You're either down with God's powers or you're not, ya know?

If they really care so much about Brittany's life and how it ended, how about they donate some of their hoards of cash that go towards maintaining their giant palaces and gold-threaded robes to cancer research? Fuckers.

Oh, it doesn't matter what SHE believes. Because THEY know it's truth no matter what.

"People should not be free to do things that we believe will send them to hell!"

Does this mean she doesn't get to go to pedophile heaven?
