I really don't think it wouldn't have come up in conversation unless he was pointedly avoiding the knowledge. I mean, one of the most basic 'get to know you make conversation" questions is along the lines of 'how old are you?" or at least revealing of one's age.

even if she point-blank lied, there's is still the testimony that it wasn't consensual which is in itself condemning. Yes it was in a grand jury, but it's still a legitimate testimony. As far as I know, you're not allowed to lie during a grand jury any more than you are in the actual trial.

*agree* *NM* - 29/09/2009 04:20:32 PM 212 Views
Problem of course is that those are not 'facts' - 29/09/2009 04:58:28 PM 422 Views
first you demand fact before judgement then you make a judgement on your opinion? - 29/09/2009 05:04:59 PM 363 Views

Somehow, i heavily doubt the fact she was NOT 18 would never have come to light - 29/09/2009 06:40:20 PM 408 Views
You may be right, I don't know. - 29/09/2009 06:58:45 PM 416 Views
