[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The accused was acquitted in a court of law.

Presumably when the girl was hospitalized, a rape kit test was performed. Was it negative?

Are we to assume people are rapist based on accusation, and not conviction?[/quote].

Actually, we don’t know if it was an acquittal.  That word isn’t defined in the juvenile justice code.  There is a higher chance that the case was dismissed, which aint the same thing.  [/quote]

How would there have been an acquittal at trial for a rape that happened just a few months ago?  The justice system does not move that quickly.  The whole thing smells fishy and I still don’t think we’re getting accurate info.  Also, we’re the “multiple assailants” each acquitted?[/quote]

I dont know the details of how this was handled, but juvenile cases in the JDRDC move quickly, by Code. It can be delayed for good cause and the like, but things move a long at a much more rapid case than in general district or circuit courts. [/quote]
