Subject: RE: BS: victim recants... Convicted stay in jail
The woman who was assaulted is developmentally disabled.

I don't know anything about this particular situation, but I do know from professional experience that the prosecution probably proceeded very, very cautiously and would not have brought charges unless there was significant evidence they were warranted and prosecutable (sp.)

Bad example with respect to the general population.
