[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1077405, member: 18945"] The DA let 2 things influence his judgement. 1. His ties to FSU. 2. His chances of re-election had he opted to send this to a grand jury. It's a grand jury's job to determine whether to indict or no-bill. Any time a prosecutor usurps the grand jury's responsibility, he/she has left open the door of doubt and malfeasance. Had the case gone to the grand jury, and they no billed him, I would have been fine with it. It is THEIR job to determine if there is enough evidence to move forward--not an elected official's job. Justice was not served in this case--far far too many people in Fla and in the SEC opted to worry more about making the alleged rapist into a victim than they did in seeing the justice system played out to what the law calls for---and I am a BIG BIG fan of SEC teams in general. IMO, this girl got screwed three times. Once by FSU's star qb--once by her boyfriend, and again by the DA and FSU fans. [/QUOTE]
