The story never ends.. that's the truth. I just can't figure out why the other charges haven't been dropped. If there's no DNA evidence, how in the world can you drop a rape charge but still pin a forced sexual assault charge on the kids?? If this thing does make it to trial, the prosecution is going to look silly and end up with some serious internal issues. Without even factoring in that a jury is going to be extremely difficult to pool, the fact that the girl is changing stories should make the D.A. drop the charges. His job is not to prosecute everything, his job is to look at facts, and prosecute where there was an actual crime.
Now, I'm not saying it did or didn't happen. Nobody but the people involved really know, I'm just saying that from what I've seen, (which could be a whole lot of smoke) I don't see how in the world the D.A. would let this case make it to trial.
I also found it very interesting to see the different views on this case in the community. Students at NCCU want to see it go to trial (the student population is majority black) while the majority of white people interviewed think the charges should be dropped. This whole case while IMO has nothing to do with race has now,thanks to the local media, turned into a huge racial cesspool. Durham has enough issues as it is already without having a racial dilema on it's hands.
