It’s actually addressed in the documentary - one of the two Italian experts consulted in the appellate process mentions that Amanda’s DNA on the handle was pretty conclusive, but the trace of Meredith’s on the blade was consistent with lab contamination. When she followed up with the lab to find out what happened…

It’s a striking omission, particularly since the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that one in five women are raped during their college years.

I do not agree that being uncomfortable with armed vigilantes makes someone a “rape apologist”.

Threatening to rape people and threatening to castrate them are incompatible with any kind of moral authority. The idea that those things can be made good by circumstance just shows how far things have fallen.

Then why isn’t there a criminal investigation? He wasn’t even investigated by the police because there is no proof of any crimes. Academic institutions should not be holding bs tribunals when journalists (UVA incident) and universities (Duke incident) consistently mess it up.

Yale’s guidelines for letting a Title IX coordinator file a complaint are quite narrow, and the present case does not fit under them.

I guess the question really comes down to this. If the victim is not sure he heard her say no, and he says he didn’t hear it, why didn’t she say it more, did she only say it once? I guess I’m confused on the consent aspect of this case. Were criminal charges involved, if not, why.

It’s almost as if schools shouldn’t play kangaroo court when it comes to sexual assault cases.

Well since you resorted to an ad hominem attack, that makes you the loser in the argument.

Is the teaming doing anything that drastically wrong here? They haven’t been told why their teammate has been kicked off the squad and they are supporting him. Really not sure what they are supposed to do.

Eh. This is one issue where I diverge greatly from feminists on, probably due to my ethnicity. As a black man in America, I just can’t be so dismissive of the the existence of false allegations of rape and the impact that they have when they occur. Many an African-American man in the early-mid 20th century ended up…

If you think they are wrong to pose these questions or challenge the story, explain why. Your comment is simply ad hominem and misdirection.
