I have to agree. This shouldn’t even shock anyone here. The media will always side with the child or the woman first in an abuse story…almost no matter what. Call it white knight syndrome or whatever, but that is how a whole jury can convict a man “just in case”.

What we need to crack down on are false accusations and the destruction of entire lives just because of the accusation alone. It almost doesn’t matter if you raped someone or not once someone accuses you of it. Your name is still shit.[/quote]

yep. lots of TRUTH in this post.

guess what? when is a man most likely to be accused of a sex crime against his own children? answer during a contested DIVORCE.

That’s not how double jeopardy works.

The story there is very, very incomplete. For a jury in a competent court to convict a man of raping an 11 year old it takes more than her saying, “he raped me”.

That child could have been examined by a doctor see if there is any physical damage to her anus and/or to her hymen. Obviously, that 11 year old may have already been involved in sexual activity which could have broken or damaged her hymen, she’s obviously emotionally damaged enough. My guess is that this played a huge part and obviously went well against the victim’s favor.

It is bullshit that she won’t be punished. I hope she does get raped and the police don’t believe her. The guy should get a decent compensation payout, that’s the least they can do to help him start rebuilding his life.

Here we go, just what I thought.

“She also had trauma to her body consistent with a rape - but now police believe this could have been from sexual contact before her accusations.”

And the prosecutor who doesn’t want to charge her is so fat and ugly being raped isn’t really a concern for her.

I agree with you. Government at almost every level has way too much authority! There are far too many laws!

This will not slow down until A LOT of people rebel, or a libertarian or an independent with an extraordinary ability to influence people somehow gets enough votes to become president by defeating the republican and democratic parties stronghold on our system. Of course, there is always the possibility of some general who has so much respect from his hundreds of thousands of subordinates that they will do ANYTHING for him (think Napoleon-like figure) and he doesn’t like the direction our country is headed, so he decides to be the new man in the white house, and he takes it by force. Probably not going to happen.

I’m sorry; I just can’t let this go. Since she “had trauma to her body consistent with a rape” means her father was the ONLY person who could have raped or had sex with her? What the hell was the prosecutor and the 12-person jury smoking?

As far as Cassandra Kennedy having sex when she was in 2nd grade and using what she had learned in films when talking to investigators goes, this should not surprise anyone. For whatever reason, many people assume kids don’t have sex, they never see porn, and that children and adolescents are basically stupid, but 100% innocent. Why? I’m in my 30s and I can still remember what I was like as a kid. Do I remember because I don’t have children, so I am not in that frame of mind that requires me to be in protection mode all the time?

We’re both on the same page here. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear: I agree that the ‘trauma’ was likely caused by sexual contact which was nothing to do with her father. We still do not know the FULL story though. So far It sounds like the fact she had ‘trauma’ (and consensual sex may appear to be trauma since her body was likely not developed enough for sex) was - tragically - the killer blow against him.

That little cunt should be sent to prison for this, and that prosecutor; hasn’t she considered prosecuting her may actually serve as a deterrent to attention seeking psychotic little whores?

Buddaboy:

Perhaps it was me who did not make myself clear. I agreed with your original post. My question was directed at what were the prosecution and the jury thinking.

In this article, the prosecutor states why she won’t or can’t prosecute: Prosecutor clarifies remarks about overturned rape conviction

In the link you posted, Of the false conviction, prosecutor Sue Baur said: ‘This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t happen.’

But she said that charging Kennedy might discourage victims from coming forward.

She added that it was not an indictment of the system, but simply a case of a person withdrawing their story.

‘Unfortunately, a man spent 10 years in prison before that happened,’ Baur said.

So, it sounds like Sue Baur believes this is no reason to attempt to make an improvement to the system, and all she thinks about the man who spent 10 years in prison is that it’s “unfortunate.” Would it have been too much of Baur to say something more, such as mistakes were made, everyone can learn something from this, and we need to continuously look for ways to improve the justice system to help reduce the risk of sending innocent people to prison for a decade?

Most likely only their egos would deflate, which is great btw, because if they would or could explode the would take mainland America with them.

Given that they are full of hot air I would only expect something resembling a wet farting noise.

Which I believe is fitting.

This is quite unusual. The woman claims she was coerced to retract the claim but the courts didn’t take that into account and jailed her for retracting the accusation.
