I read up some on the case referenced in this post the first time AgentFrank mentioned it to us, a few pages back.
See http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154808&page=20 for the earlier discussion, including some links that will help delve into the story, if you're interested.
I don't pretend to have become an expert on that case or to have any inside information on it -- nor do I have any particular leaning for or against Judge Brown in Lauren's case -- BUT, fact is, the earlier case wasn't a rape case. Apparently, no criminal charges of rape were brought.
It was a civil suit charging sexual battery. There are differing reports, too, of what the judge actually did in regard to referencing the plaintiff's sexual past. And, if I remember correctly, the Georgia Court of Appeals refused to hear her case.
If you look into the story, you can see why some charge that politics/money was behind the accused's "getting away with things" ... while others say money was the motive from the other side. Deep and sticky waters here ... and I don't know the "truth".
You are correct Backwoods, I guess I was using revisionist thinking. I still think what Brown did was deplorable on the face of it, but I obviously don't know the truth either Thanks
