Prosecutors are the dumb bunnies of law, for real. They know there’s no one to hold them accountable for terrible, unprofessional bordering on illegal behavior. I hope all the conversations you have with them take place in the presence of your own lawyer. Thank you for enduring this awful burden by speaking out and…

You’re not crazy and it’s worth the fight. Thank you for doing this.

I am so sorry you were assaulted, and so sorry you’re having to deal with such fuckery from people who are supposed to be on your side. My only hope is that they know the defense will try to make something your clothing, and they want to be prepared. Best thoughts to you and yours, may the bastard be found guilty and…

Our legal system is built on precedent, and women & people of color were not included in the law until the last 100 years. The system was designed for and by men, specifically white men. It should be unsurprising that the system responds to the kinds of violence overwhelmingly suffered by people at the hands of…

There is always the chance that they thought the case was a loser and/or she was lying. But you can’t come out and blame the “victim”, not in todays climate. So mumbling something about how the guy was drunk and running off into the night was their best bet.

A complete moron.

Contrary to what KeevaS says, “I didn’t know it was a crime” is a possible defense. It’s called “Mens Rea”, or Latin for “Guilty Mind”. As usual, Wikipedia does a better job than I of discussing Mens Rea. The standard for negligence is a good example:

I'm so sorry that you're experiencing rape culture firsthand. I know how much it hurts. Solidarity <3

I’m reading through the comments and the excuses and apologies are fucking bumming me out on humankind. So, let me do a pay it forward kind of thing and thank you for being really brave, awesome and sharing this with everyone.

I have what the victim said. And the silence from the DA. And the simple fact that these kinds of sexual assaults are not vigorously prosecuted and end to get swept under the rug. And, if you read the comments, including yours, you are more than willing to disbelieve the victim than to distrust a system (prosecuting…

He tresspassed but he was drunk while doing it and didn’t know he was tresspassing, so we won’t prosecute him.

I gotta jump in because I don’t understand your line of thinking.

We also have her original allegations of sexual assault, which were never denied. The real truth here is that a lot of people are rushing to demand precise facts just like every other time sexual assault gets a free pass. Well, let the cowardly DA speak up and provide said “facts.”

Read all about Seth Williams - he hired two Porn Purveyors out of the PA Attorney General's office and defended them until he was blue in the face. His "chief counsel's" spouse was hired by sadi pron purveyor, Frank Fina, to sue the state. Rape cases go nowhere with his office - it's well-known.

By that logic, drunk driving shouldn’t be prosecuted. I mean, if you’re too drunk to have good judgment, then how can you be held responsible?

“It’s policy,” is another overused get-out-of-jail-free card.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll investigate the investigation investigation as soon as possible.

The alcohol thing is way too cliché. I can’t believe that’s a reason in this day and age.
