False rape accusations tell us something important about America

“Sometimes, and often in these cases, it’s one person’s word against another so the decision of how to prosecute and whether to prosecute isn’t an easy one. I believed her in this case and that’s why I went forward with it. I felt she was telling the truth and I felt it was a community safety issue.”

I thought we were finally enlightened enough to know that in just such cases: one word against another; we humans are too imperfect to possibly be a reasonable judge. There HAS to be a higher threshold than simply "I believe her".

This disgusts me to no end. I lose sleep sometimes from the posts on this sub.

“Sometimes it comes down to, do you believe the victim? I believe her.”

If she's lying, she's NOT A VICTIM!

I don't feel like I got a big "learn something about America" though... I could be wrong but it was just a list. Where was the big conclusion?

“Narratives and allegations are not facts, despite what the media would have us believe."

Nails it.
