I'm spreading Jello brand gelatin, stepping out of the phone booth, trying to avoid Mom's shoe, fireing up the radial airplane engine, forgetting what kind of car that was, sending Russel to see the city, standing in front of that easil, teaching us white kids a thing or two.

Yeah she's a psycho and there are thousands more like her the media doesn't cover. It's a much bigger problem than "rape culture" or stupid poo poo like loving "male gaze" that gets way more media attention.

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias.[1][2] Cherry picking may be committed intentionally or unintentionally. This fallacy is a major problem in public debate.[3]

Then what's your point? They were paraded around in the media as horrible evil men and their hosed up psycho false accuser got all the attention and praise and adoration she desired. She should be in prison for as long as they were potentially facing.

Okay, that seems fair if it can be proven she knew she was lying and wasn't just crazy or misremembering in an alcohol/drug fugue.

They still were judged not guilty in a court of law. I don't know what else you want.

Maybe we should keep all accused people's names out of the paper until their guilt or innocence is established by a court of law? That prevents the court of public opinion from convicting innocent people regardless of the crime they're accused of.

That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. People can be falsely accused of many things besides rape, so it wouldn't be fair to protect suspected rapists and not other groups. Everyone should be protected.

The highest national (I use national to make sure the estimate is at least nominally conservative) estimates of false rape accusations sit at 10%. Let's double that to 20% just to be extremely fair.

Unless the school administration is running the kangaroo court. Then you'll be found guilty even if you both admit it's consensual.

Also, it's interesting that you would excuse a false accuser because they were intoxicated. That seems to fly in the face of how intoxication is viewed in regards to sexual assault.

That's because those statistics only include intentional false claims of rapes. It doesn't include claims that are unfounded, where the claim simply can't be demonstrated and the reason for it not being demonstrable can't positively be shown to be intentional lying. People can engage in call kinds of self-deception for all kinds of reasons.

I have no idea, to be honest. Better to try than to not though.

Unless we make it so no public figure can be accused of a crime, public figures will be accused of crimes--especially when they actually commit crimes. Maybe at best we could keep the details of the accusation out of the media.

Defendants really don't have enough of a right to privacy in the current Western legal system. Putting aside rape for a second, any false accusation can be very damaging. At the very least we could spare people the court of public opinion.

Report whatever you want after the fact, but only after the facts are in. We expect that of other reporting.

It also includes only claims reported to the authorities, when they don't need to be so reported in order to have injurious effects on a person's life - see Bust Rodd's account.

Indeed. There's a big grey area in the middle between the successfully prosecuted cases and the definitely false accusations.

Intoxication is more a mitigating factor than a defense, in my mind. I'm not a lawyer and I have no idea. It seems fair to consider it as a mitigating factor in either case, but not one that excuses you.

Honestly I don't know if the legal system can even handle sexual violence. It hasn't proven to be good at it so far. Maybe we just need to raise non-rapists/non-BPD people and hope that helps.
