with 8 victims testifying, the mother's of victims and other eye witnesses I can';t see how this could happen.

The Defense tried to go after a couple victims as potential liars but that should only work if there are a couple testifying rather than a baseball team testifying against him.

Plus even the Defenses own fucking witnesses say he used to take boys into the showers..."we didn't see anything happen" well duh, that was just when there was people around...

        It mystifies me that people could think an 18-year-old boy would lie about something that he can't talk about without sobbing. -- nm - mara Jun 21, 10:49 5
        
        like it or not, it forever paints them (I don't want to use the term taint) in a way that could hurt them for the rest of their lives -- nm - zork Jun 21, 10:51 4
        
        it's so sad that their names will be everywhere soon. I don't know that I'd come forward with the expectation - amanda Jun 21, 10:54 3
