[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what "historically disadvantaged" or "under-represented" community she belongs to.  Did she claim that she is "historically disadvantaged" by way of being a "victim" of domestic abuse?

The more we find out, the more she seems like a person who has been lying ALL of her life to take advantage of other people's sympathies.  And because it is considered inappropriate to question someone who says they are a victim of domestic violence, she's has been able to get away with it.

Sickening.[/quote]

Well she was a victim of domestic abuse that had a court ordered restraining order against her ex.  She fled, becoming a divorced mother of a child and changed her name to protect herself and her child.  Being a single parent and a survivor of domestic abuse that was living under an assumed name for protection seems like an historically disadvantaged situation.  There are many such single mothers who need a second chance to get their life restarted.  And that is certainly one type of situation that special programs like the Access Admission Program were designed to cover.

I'm not saying this as a Reade supporter, since I for one don't believe her allegations, but I certainly think that her history at that point was the type of story that special admissions programs would take into account.[/quote]

No. She SAYS she experienced abuse. Her ex denies it.

See the pattern here?[/quote]

Not entirely.

[quote]While he acknowledged that he was violent with Reade in February 1996 and said he apologized for that, he did not acknowledge other violent incidents Reade mentioned in her own testimony.[/quote]

The incident that he acknowledged and which left her physically harmed (bruised), was the one for which she was granted the restraining order for and why she fled with their daughter.  And while he did not acknowledge the other violent incidents, his word is just as suspect as hers is.  Physical abuse that leaves marks is rarely an isolated incident.  Most of the incidents that are one time only, are not so serious as to cause that amount of physical damage (I did a lot of research when my sister was seriously hurt by my a$$hole ex-BIL).  This is very unlikely to be a one-time only offense.[/quote]

But why, if she was in a protection program, did she go on the radio and publish articles with her picture, while living so close to him?[/quote]
