"With no physical evidence in the case, Williams was convicted largely on the women's testimony..." "Williams passed two lie-detector tests conducted by a State Bureau of Investigation examiner..."

Ok, wait so let me understand something... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/08/sarah-jones-ex-cincinnati_n_1949106.html This chick gets convicted and doesn't have to go on the SR, yet this guy with no evidence except a women's testimony (of which one was deemed to have mental health issue) has to. I... I don't even... Sigh don't worry everyone MRM isn't even fighting for anything and men should just check our GODAMN POS PRIVILEGE.

Not sure what exactly happened or what exactly is the truth. Still, is it even legal to ruin a young man's life without concrete evidence? The actions committed are beyond wrong but if the truth is that this man didn't do it: his whole life is fucked.

He should leave the country. Staying in the USA as a sex offender is hell on earth.

It's a travesty the man was convicted with no hard evidence, BUT...Lie detectors are bullshit. They aren't considered valid enough to be accepted as evidence in any jurisdiction, except where very specific criteria must be met.

Overall, the research shows them to be extremely inaccurate and flawed, at best, and pure pseudoscience at worst.

Here's what I don't understand. If women can't consent to sex while they're intoxicated, how come their identification of the alleged perpetrator while intoxicated is admissible in court? Isn't their judgement impaired?

''It's not about race; it's about rape. He raped two girls.''

The article must have forgotten to mention the rape.

I'm not going to go too much into the specifics of the case but why are people calling it rape?

And further, why do you people want lie-detector tests to be admissible? Don't be ridiculous.

There was at least 1 other witness that testified with details that corroborated with the story from the victims. Lastly, no mention of anyone seeing Williams anywhere else during the events, or any conflicting testimonies other than from Williams? Of course it doesn't look good, considering how many people were present. I'll admit the article is hazy at best, but if we're all here judging this from the article alone, why these realities haven't been acknowledged yet is disappointing.

So, in all, I rate OP title 1 out of 3, because there was in fact no physical evidence.

On a side note, men everywhere are screwed because when do we ever verbally ask for consent when we get down and dirty on the dance floor? Of course you should retreat if rejected in any manner, but watch yourselves anyways, lol.

Defense attorneys also said Williams passed two lie-detector tests conducted by a State Bureau of Investigation examiner, though they were not admitted into evidence.

This is why you NEVER agree to take a lie detector test. It's like talking to the police: You have nothing to gain and everything to lose. If you pass the lie detector test they won't admit it into evidence. If you fail, they'll use it against you.

"two women and reaching inside their pants without their consent at a party"

I put money on all these people consuming alcoholic beverages on the night of the incident.

''That's ignorance for people to say this is a race thing,'' she said. ''It's not about race; it's about rape. He raped two girls.''

I... uh... I'm pretty sure nobody's trying to say he raced two girls.
