offering instead platitudes about how many rape cases go unreported. They misquoted the alleged victim in their sum-up presentation (she was quoted as saying “I've been raped” when what she said was “I think I've been raped”). If it had been anything less serious than potential life in prison, it would have all seemed like the Keystone Cops.

I'd say this botched case has set back the cause of protecting women at least a decade. Good work, guys.
