namssa Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 No charges filed in SDSU gang rape case, District Attorney’s Office says https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2022-12-07/da-decision-regarding-charges-in-sdsu-rape-case “Ultimately, prosecutors determined it is clear the evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges and there is no path to a potential criminal conviction,” District Attorney Summer Stephan’s office said in a statement. “Prosecutors can only file charges when they ethically believe they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztec1984 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Not unexpected. The video posted online with her in it was quite damning. From what I have heard, her statements than night regarding her desire to have sex were collaborated as well. She and her family will have some exposure to a civil suit though her attorney is going to go down hard as it is his tweets that got Arazia cut by the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While these gentlemen are innocent in the court of law, this doesn’t always mean they are innocent of the accusations. I don’t know enough to comment on this case, but rape is one of the harder crimes to get a case brought and ultimately and a conviction. We simply don’t know nor are likely to know exactly what transpired though the video is not a good look for the accuser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA and the police found no evidence compelling enough to even bring charges. Big difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ambulance chasing lawyer will be lucky to escape with his license. The countersuit will be far easier to win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to go back in this thread, but pretty sure I said they should absolutely be investigated, and that the university had an obligation to their students to do so. And btw, just because they decided not to prosecute doesn't mean they didn't do it, just no way to prove it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably you actually have to have evidence as crime was committed before you prosecute. Just because there's no proof that you two molest goats, doesn't mean you're not goat fuxckrs. See how that works? un phucking real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the release from the DA's office, sexual assault experts, including prosecutors and investigators, analyzed the evidence in the case, including over 35 taped witness interviews, the results of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) exam, DNA results and "forensic evidence from cell phones and video evidence of the incident itself."

It is an absolute fact that the vast overwhelming majority of reported sexual assaults do not have chargers brought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the entire point. I was pissed initially that there had been very little done on the investigation, and that SDSU just sat back and continued their season. Seemed like they only reacted when they were forced by the outcry. If an investigation has now been completed, so be it. THAT's how it's supposed to work.

The very basis of our law is that everyone is presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise. No one should ever have to prove their innocence, the accuser has to prove guilt. That's what separates us from Venezuela and China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
