Thread Name: BS: victim recants... Convicted stay in jail
Subject: RE: BS: victim recants... Convicted stay in jail
I posted the original article ( the entire one that I saw) with the comment "WTF???" I thought that the last line would be obvious as the reason I posted:
"Prosecutors in West Virginia have dismissed Williams' new claim, and lawyers for the defendants aren't discussing their plans. "


I ignored the racial aspects- MY concern was that the accuser had withdrawn the accusation, and the prosecutors have ignored that.

This seemed to be a miscarriage of justice. Art pointed out that there was more information in a different article ( which I had NOT seen when I posted ( Thank, Art!) and Spaw called me a troll for even thinking that this might be a problem worth looking at or discussing.
