Yes there will, Yes, she will have to suffer through it all again. As horrible as that may be for her, she'll have her however minutes of fame if/when this guy gets retried, once again found guilty, minutes of fame?? really? have you ever been thru a rape trial?? in any form? Already the court of "public opinion" has questioned wether she should have known it wasnt her boyfriend. and that she is crying wolf... that she shouldnt have been drunk, etc etc... minutes of shame and being questioned as being at fault? yes...He already said that she didnt actuallly consent, he didnt even try to claim such, just that she "responded". Now, thats just from what we have been told, Im well aware there may be more to the story, but the "minutes of fame" is my only WTF moment with your post and having the abysmal law that caused the overturning repealed, deleted, or whatever the term is for deep-6-ing it. Heres hoping its before the re trial Then again, if the jury convicted him solely on the law's definition of rape including having sex with a sleeping person, then the guilty plea will be reaffirmed and it would pass the appeals court.The fact that the lawyer went so far to claim it as being the reason for the appeal(and won) tells me that hes not too worried about that. So once again, I agree with you, but for the one "wtf "moment. Admittedly, a poor choice of words. Yes, she will, once again, have to go through a rape trial (no, I haven't been through on, or sat through one, but I can definitely imagine it not being the sort of thing that is enjoyable). The "moments of fame" comment was that there would likely be an historic footnote with her name on it. She will be linked to the improvement of law in CA, like a "Megan's Law" or "Caylee's Law." That was my meaning behind the "moments of fame" comment. I was not impugning her or anything like that. I do not think she brought suit to get the proverbial "15 minutes of fame."
