[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't drag a girl behind a dumpster because you're drunk.

You drag a girl behind a dumpster because you KNOW it's wrong and don't want others to see you.[/quote]

I think this is definitely true.  And Brock said he never had any intentions of taking this young woman back to his dorm room which is why I guess he led (?) her behind that dumpster.

If she had had a clearer memory of what had occurred that night maybe there would have been enough evidence to justify a heftier sentence.  It's just so hard because there are so many gaps in her memory as to what happened that night.

How much was consensual on her part and at what point did it clearly became non-consensual.  Did she walk herself behind that dumpster or did she pass out and he took her back there.

She'll never know and he'll never tell.  This is such a sad and scary situation...

Actually, a jury got to hear detailed testimony from both sides and unanimously found him guilty on each of the charges presented to them. There isn't any evidence lacking to convict him of those crimes, which carry a maximum sentence of more than a decade.

In a fictional world where there was inadequate evidence of what happened, he should have been found not guilty. He wasn't, because there was enough evidence. The judge accepted that he committed the crimes he was charged with and just chose to give substantially less than the maximum and 1/12th the sentence recommended by the prosecutor.[/quote]

Yes, obviously there was enough to convict him.  The jury convicted him.  My point was that if she had had a better memory of the night - if she had been a better witness herself and provided more details about what happened - there may have been even more that they could have charged him with.  In case you think I'm implying that she is in any way responsible for this assault I am not.  But the reality is drinking to the point of blacking out has made her memory of the night very vague.  Thank goodness those Swedes came along when they did because without them I don't know that this ever would have been brought to justice which is scary.  She would have woken up behind that dumpster with her clothes a mess, abrasions on her body and no memory of what had happened to her.  Scary![/quote]
