But they didn't make her bleed, Jerome. Your own link says the woman tripped on the stairs. Jesus, you have the memory of a gnat.

Thats not what she said. Thats what the police said.
I don't know what he's doing. I said: 'What are you doing?' And he hit me with those handcuffs in my face," she said.
"He's just trying to cover his tracks, as far as I'm concerned. |

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

And she, of course, is credible, because her story changes depending upon the article you read. |

Evidently, I rock!
Why not question something for a change?

Her story did not change. This quote was not presented in the first article.

This is such a trivial issue that it boggles the mind.
Want something real to chew on Jerome? How about Word 'Rape' Banned from Rape Trial in Nebraska ?
The judge also banned the words “victim” “sexual assault” “sexual assault kit” and more…
The case ended in a mistrial yesterday, even before a jury was picked, because the alleged victim refused to comply with the judge's order.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

I agree that it is asinine to not allow the name of the crime being adjudicated to be uttered.
I can not tell much about the case from the article, but this fact raises questions:
| This was the second time the case had been tried. The first time ended in a hung jury, this time it was a mistrial. |
