January 4, 201313 yr Author I just meant it sounds like the police are at least trying... I agree. Some people don't understand that the police did not determine to let them go to juvenile court instead of being tried as adults, people need to focus on the prosecutors and the court system. As well as focus on the football coaches, the school and all involvement of the football team. I read where one of the places these kids were at was the home of a football coach, drinking there as well, I think it said that were they started. Half the town is fed up with the "whatever they do is fine" attitude of the other half of the town. The name "rape crew" was a name the kids gave themselves.
January 4, 201313 yr Author A good review of this: Everything You Need to Know About Steubenville High's Football 'Rape Crew' - National - The Atlantic Wire I have an idea, how about the OHSAA tell the people there that is people don't come forward the football team will be kicked out of the OHSAA and not allowed to even play OHSAA members. I bet there will be a line of people willing to testify then.

January 4, 201313 yr I wish the dudes trying to talk sense in that video would have just beat the hell out of that kid.

January 5, 201313 yr What a bunch of idiots. Kids love technology and it comes right back around to lock them up. I didn't realize the girl was apparently being raped in the house during the video.
March 12, 201313 yr Trial starts this week. I fully realize defense attorneys have to do what they can but this is offensive: Attorney Walter Madison, who represents one of the accused boys, contends the girl voluntarily drank and willingly left in a car with a group of boys -- including the two charged football players. "There's an abundance of evidence here that she was making decisions, cognitive choices," Madison said. "She didn't affirmatively say no." Steubenville rape trial will center on issue of consent | cleveland.com Remember that this girl had to be carried from party to party because she was out.

I've never understood why attorneys in touch cases like this say anything to the media. Most of the time it comes out as insensitive as best, completely out of touch at worse.
March 12, 201313 yr I'm willing to bet that lawyer doesn't have a daughter. I'm willing to bet that even if he does he doesn't care. He'll do his best to torpedo that girl. while I would never wish rape on anyone I have to wonder if his wife/daughter were the victim how he would feel.
March 12, 201313 yr Why do I have this gut feeling that it is 50/50 at best that these boys are convicted?
