Here's hoping they throw the book at her!

I think this thread may be jumping the gun. The story says,

After a four-month investigation, authorities dismissed a charge of felony domestic assault against Cunningham on Tuesday, saying ''there was no proof beyond a reasonable doubt for the charged offense.''

Does that really sound like proof, or even compelling evidence, of a malicious false allegation? We all know it's wrong to say, "This person was accused of a crime? I'm instantly going to assume this person's guilty!", but if we assume that a false allegation was made simply because the crime couldn't be proven, aren't we doing the same thing, but in reverse.

My position is basically, that since there wasn't much evidence against Cunningham, he should not be assumed to be guilty of assault. However, until there's compelling evidence that it didn't happen and that the accusation was false, the accuser shouldn't be assumed guilty of a false accusation.

Good for him. All men should do this.
