This is oral argument from the Eighth Circuit. 2/10/9. Accuser said "rape." And said rapist ejaculated. And said she did not have sex with anyone else. Grand Jury asked and was told "DNA was present, and sent for testing." Tests later showed it was not the defendant's DNA. It was another man. Her explanation for her motive to lie was that it was a married man (man #2), but it was another, (man #3). Evidence withheld from jury to "protect the victim's reputation." This is the appeal after conviction. And yes, this is the Pumpkin Seed case. Really. 08-2399 ftp://8cc-www.ca8.uscourts.gov/OAaudio/2009/2/082399.mp3 Edited by Tidbits, Feb 21 2009, 04:13 PM.

DNA testing can't be, I will use this and exclude that. Unfortunately we saw that in the Duke Frame/Hoax. |

I am sure I am missing something here. When a victim lies, why does their reputation need to be protected? |

I wonder if the Grand Jury actually asking a question (and about DNA yet) is part of the "Duke" effect? Are Grand Jurors now more aware of their responsibilities and less willing to accept at face value whatever "facts" are told them about a case by prosecutors? If so, maybe that's one positive thing to come out of all this. |

Excuse me but what about the reputation of the guy that was convicted of a crime he didn't commit! (A crime that's considered VERY BAD.) What about his loss of freedom. His loss of faith in the justice system? What about Lying to the police! Did she lie on the witness stand too? Edited by jewelcove, Feb 22 2009, 11:02 AM.
