Eric Frimpong Rape Case

Some excerpts:

Also, semen found on Doe's underwear didn't match Frimpong's -- but it was a match for that of Benjamin Randall, Doe's sexual partner throughout her freshman year. Randall told authorities that he and Doe had engaged in intercourse seven days before the rape; Doe said they'd had sex four days prior but that she thought she was wearing different underwear, and she told a nurse that they'd used a condom.

Throughout the investigation and during the trial, Doe admitted to gaps in her memory. In her interview with detectives, she claimed she had consumed "a couple shots of vodka" before leaving her dorm. In an interview that April with assistant district attorney Mary Barron, the lead prosecutor, Doe said she'd consumed more throughout the evening. "I know I had beer," she said. "And I know I had rum." She also acknowledged that her memory after beer pong was hazy. "That's when it starts to, like, cut out," she told Barron.

So basically this guy is a big time college soccer stud on the verge of going pro. He goes to a party where a girl tries to get on him. He leaves her hanging and she accuses him of rape. She was apparently shitfaced that night and admitted her memory was spotty. DNA tests did not match his. She had bite marks that didn't match his. His clothing from that night were examined where there was no trace of her fluids or anything of the sort on them. The DNA found on her actually belonged to her ex boyfriend. She claims she beat the shit out of him too but there isn't a scratch on the guy (the accused). Either way, Eric was convicted and sentenced to 6 years in jail as a rapist.

Now, I know journalists have their ways to mislead you and such but judging by the facts that 1) DNA doesn't match 2) her testimony is unreliable by her own admission 3) he shows no signs of any recent violent struggle, particularly the way she was describing to have fought him off....I'd say this is pretty heartbreaking. All the testimony portrays him as a really nice guy. It even says that since he's been in prison he's been making the best of his time by leading exercise and bible study for other inmates. Reading this seriously made me upset and pissed off for this kid.

If he was truly innocent of all charges, the "Reverend" Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would've been all over this like stink on shit.

i bet mindia knows 0 black people

this case makes me sad, too. american women are some of the worst people in this world.

"I don't care that he's a soccer star…and I'm a nobody," the statement says. "Eric Frimpong ruined my life."

if that doesn't scream that she's starved for attention then i don't know what does. west african people are the nicest people i've ever met in my entire life. that guy's so happy just to be in the US and out of Ghana that there's no way he could bring himself to do something like that. it's simply a case of a total bitch who obviously got denied and couldn't take it. and media always sides with women. especially if they're accusing a black man

I know a couple Black people who are immigrants from Africa. They are nice people. I'm simply saying that if this guy is truly innocent of all charges and is just a victim of racism or whatever... don't you think Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the whole clan at the ACLU would be all over this to protect Frimpong? That's what boggles me about this case.

The worst part of this is that he probably didn't actually do it and even if everything is overturned and he is released, for the rest of his life he will be considered a rapist by many. Even if the journalist misconstrued the facts to make him sound more innocent, there are certain aspects of the trial itself which seem to indicate that the judge was far from impartial. No juror should be allowed to stay when they themselves are being charged with a crime by the same DA. There is no way they can be considered impartial. The bit injury data from the original individual who instigated them by the DA should and by law must have been provided to the defense. This in itself is grounds for a mistrial and the fact that it was completely ignored by the judge (a former DA) is disheartening.

I agree man what the fuck.

Other than Tug I think everyone I know is black. Maybe you should move to the real america where everyone doesnt look and think like you.

People from the city != the rest of the country.

[Tossica]

and the people that live in the places where there really aren't any (insert minority group or whatever is the focus of their prejudice) really don't have enough information to form an educated opinion on said group and should shut the fuck up.

Little late on the post, but ive been away on work, so, oh well, cry about it.

Such a shitty story. I read somethin about it a couple weeks ago and though what a bunch of bullshit


And that brings me to my story. I once knew an old chap back in school, his name was roger but all weird soudning, so im gonna call him Roger. Roger was from Uganda. Transferred straight here to play soccer too. He showed me pictures of the place he is from. You think we are barefoot and backwoods in west virginia? well they make our barefoot folk look like childs play. He said HIV/AIDs had taken over to about 70% of his little area, and people were getting murdered and slaughtered nightly over the tribal bullshit those people are always frollicking about with. So anyways, like someone else said, not sure who, but this dude, anytime youd see him on campus, no matter where he was, or in the library (he tutored me in Calc 2 actually, to a B I can add, really fucking smart dude, because im a fucking dipshit in math) hed have the biggets damn smile on his face. One time I can remember at a party someone calld him Smiley (in which was his nickname from there on out) and then of course someone said "Why do you smile so much?" And all hed say was buddy, Im here at a party with friends in the US, and I dont have to worry about eatting in the morning, or being mistaken for a guy of another tribe and get killed in my sleep. I Shit you not, and Ive never seen such seriousness in something like that. We ran around a little bit actually, played soccer between classes and stuff (on that note, the dude was SICK. I played through high school and stuff, had a partial scholorship to a couple little schools, was just decent ya know, well this guy made me look like a little girl. A stupid, stupid little girl. Hes now playin over in Europe somewhere, not sure where, I cant seem to catch up to him or figure out what his real name was and actual spelling). Haha and one last funny thing about him, was tha he could not for the love of god, figure out why black people here call each other niggaz. I just remember we used to laugh about that all the time. He just couldnt understand it lol. Another funny thing hed say was why do all these black here claim to be proud African Americans? Arent they just, Americans? Have they even ever been to Africa? Million bucks says theyd HATE that shit. If I ever have to go back, Ill kill myself before I get there that would even get the black people laughing


Thats really just a off the whim storytime from the Gaazy, im tired and internal travel clock being fucked, and im just falling apart. For the past couple weeks, I have borrowed my cousins Challenger Jet (mmmm first time ive felt like a pimp) and went state to state mine to mine trying to expand our company into the west, even further than we are already. And trying to meet everyones shcedules, is a pain in the ass. Morning in Montana, afternoon in Illinois. Illinois mrning, Utah afternoon, Colorado evening. Fuck me. But hey, at least I didnt have to drive that horseshit. Im still waiting to see what the fuel bill will be for the weeks~

My minds wandering, oioioi
