I would be shocked if anyone really thought a prominent attorney raped a young girl that far outside his social circle and then covered her in excrement. It's not a crime novel out there, it's real life. I bet if you cataloged the rapes in the US (and I'm sure someone does) you'd find that a vanishingly small percentage of them are "odd" like that one was. This smelled from the start. I just think Sharpton didn't care - he knew the lamestream media would give him a bully pulpit and a pass. -XC
