Subject: RE: BS: victim recants... Convicted stay in jail
Seems to me, that we don't have enough information to form a judgment - although the lack of information seldom stops a lot of people from forming an opinion.
If they don't think they'll win in court, defendants often confess to a crime and plead guilty - even though they may not have committed a crime. For various reasons, victims sometimes withdraw allegations of criminal conduct, even though the allegations may be true.
So, where's the truth in this case?
Maybe Bruce's original "WTF" comment was apropos, and nothing further needs to be said....
