Correct son. I was watching on the news this morning. He said the lawyer told him he could claim he was innocent, but what was going to happen when he walked into the courtroom...it'd be his word vs hers, and he was the big, mean looking black guy.dlazz;1182244 wrote:Things like rape are typically always the guys' fault.

I'm sure he did.
