For those of you who read my post Thursday on the Orange County gang rape case, the O.C. Weekly has been doing a good job following the case. (And taking advantage of the fact that, as an alt weekly, they can publish all the bad words the O.C. Register won’t.)
First, this piece, which does a convincing job showing was a bunch of drunken teenaged goons these rapists are.
But this piece is the one to read. The first half is about a (probably minor) courtroom screwup by the prosecution. But the last two paragraphs may be the a new low for the legal profession. How these defense attorneys can sleep at night, I’ll never know.
The victim in the case, known only as Jane Doe, testifies tomorrow.
