Controversial grand jury decision

[eppie]

False allegation of rape is a very serious thing in and of itself, especially since real rape cases are so dependent on the testimony of the victims. Filing a false police report is the least she should be convicted of. If the man hadn't been shot, would he be on trial for rape right now or what?

With regards to her contribution to the man's death, that may depend on the laws in Texas. Was her negligence a major factor in the man's death? There are consequences for such things. If you drink three or four beers and get into a car accident, and you can be charged with manslaughter. What she did seems at least as careless as that to me.

I agree with you. She is guilty on those charges. But guilty of murder is just the guy.
