I hope everyone who read the DA’s statement remembers Governor Hochul’s condemning it: “In what world does the district attorney not even interview her, or anyone else involved, or even request the full transcript?” (1/2)

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

The law isn’t helping. New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they drank or used substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe’s assailants may never be held accountable under the law.

Absolutely infuriating. I'd no idea my former state of residence had such illogical policies and insensitivity on this issue. *Texas* actually has more evolved policies!! (The first time I've ever said that sentence). And I'm not letting the DA or CU panel off the hook. Jane Doe sd she was raped.
