Remember the saying about their being two sides to every story and that the truth normally lies somewhere in the middle? Patience, Grasshopper. Let's let this one play out before passing judgment.

Patience, Grasshopper. Let's let this one play out before passing judgment. I know what it is. My question is, how could any judge without an agenda suppress that evidence? How are you supposed to defend yourself? The pair's trials have been put on hold, however, as defense teams for both challenge on appeal a ruling by Knox County Criminal Court Judge Bob McGee that blocked the ex-players from obtaining from witnesses, including the accuser, the contents of their digital communications, including social media messages, before, during and after the party. Recall that without similar evidence, the Duke Lacrosse team would be rotting in jail right now.

I'm not an attorney, obviously, but to me it's a no-brainer.

I know there are false claims....and this may turn out to be one....but just because they had a relationship does NOT mean he didn't rape her. Women have to be taken seriously, as in this case, until evidence shows otherwise......
