Yep, and sadly  that would happen in alot of areas of the country... ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles To: 'The Sandbox Discussion List' Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 12:30 PM Subject: RE: [Sndbox] Providing clarification Well I know in the county I grew up in, small, rural, mostly white....if a famous black athlete came in and had relations with a local white girl then she claimed it was rape he'd be toast.  It wouldn't matter if an eyewitness saw her up against the wall with Jimmy Studly they'd convict the black man because he dared have sex with a white girl.   Now that's not right.  It would be a gross miscarriage of justice.  But that's what would happen.   It would be the same way if a white guy was accused of raping a black girl in a predominately black community.   Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Hopper Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 1:31 PM To: The Sandbox Discussion List Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Providing clarification Thank God someone else said it, you know I hate cases like that too. Figured I would get crucified for saying it. lol But yeah, I think in this case, it just might have come into play...... ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles To: 'The Sandbox Discussion List' Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 11:18 AM Subject: RE: [Sndbox] Providing clarification You know I'm not big on making cases about race....you all know how I feel about it....but comments I have heard and read from local people lead me to believe that some in Eagle County believe he's guilty because she is white and he is black.  Could the prosecutor be one of those?   Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Harder Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 12:13 PM To: The Sandbox Discussion List Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Providing clarification I agree.... I just have this nagging question as to why the prosecution has taken it this far. ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
