Naive, gullible and now, dumb, are the crucial variables here.
Why did several of the boys confess prior to police questioning? Were those people lying, as well?
Here are a few questions for you and the missus to try to answer tonight after social science research is done for the evening:
- How were two of the five able to lead police, independently, to the precise location of the assault if they had nothing to do with it? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- How did one of the five reveal that another attacker stole the victim's Walkman when not only had that detail not been made public, but the police themselves hadn't learned that
detail from the victim at that point? Were these boys psychics? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- Why did two of that suspect's friends say that he bragged to them about committing the assault a day after the attacks, prior to arrest? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- Why did one of the five say this in the police car, prior to interrogation: “I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman's tits.” Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- How about the scratches underneath the eye of one suspect, the suspect who explained that he got the scratches because "I got in the way. She got kind of like scratched me a little bit." Isn't it an amazing coincidence, bud, that one of the suspects turns up with facial cuts consistent with what we know was a strong fight put up by the victim at the same exact time that the assault occurred? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- Ooh, ooh, ooh, and along those same lines, what a coincidence that another of the five had grass-stained, semen-stained underwear recovered by police right at the same time that the victim was assaulted and raped on the grass in Central Park? Gee, Mr. Science, is it possible for someone to rape someone else yet not have his semen in the vagina? Whaddya think, professor? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
- Oh, and why were these frightened young boys singing the at the precinct station prior to interrogation, gloating about the assault? Did they cover that in the movie, bud?
You and the missus put your noggins together and get back to me, will ya?
Oh, and bud, I cited the cases of Steven Avery and Jeffrey MacDonald. They're both white, dum-dum. In fact, most of the cases I usually cite as miscarriages of justice where guilsty-as-sin suspects or convicts walk are white. You want me to reel them off?
