That strikes me as a little bit like uhm . .. getting back at all men that cheat, and making an example for them. A little female wishfulfillment

Just because a man is a huge pig doesn't make him a rapist. And if we have the potential to put someone in jail for twenty years it should be for more than a difference of opinions or perspectives lol.

But as for the rest I think you are right, juries are persuaded by the oddest things.

If I were a juror I would just want to know what happened. In the absence of injury, weapons, and struggle . . . where basically its just her saying she said no, I am looking for some type of corroboration through a wtiness because its just an awful long time to put someone away when its simply her word against his.

Edited for typos.
