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 244 Views
Problem of course is that those are not 'facts' - 29/09/2009 04:58:28 PM 504 Views
first you demand fact before judgement then you make a judgement on your opinion? - 29/09/2009 05:04:59 PM 448 Views

Somehow, i heavily doubt the fact she was NOT 18 would never have come to light - 29/09/2009 06:40:20 PM 487 Views
You may be right, I don't know. - 29/09/2009 06:58:45 PM 500 Views

I think that I'm just more cynical than you are - 29/09/2009 09:12:12 PM 471 Views
So because i'm not cynical about the court system and have a different train of logic - 29/09/2009 09:25:53 PM 487 Views
