This test clears these young men conclusively. It is our hope that none of these young men will have to face criminal charges resulting from these allegations. |
This young lady was substantially impaired. She had fallen several times during the course of the evening. |
This young lady was substantially impaired. She had fallen several times during the course of the evening. ... I believe that the public will soon be able to learn the truth, and that these allegations are totally false and without merit. |
We anticipate and hope the DNA results will be released early next week. It's unfortunate that these young men have been vilified by the press, the community and the university they attend. It's a real miscarriage of justice for them to be convicted in the public's mind before everything is known. It is unfair. The allegations against them do not contain a kernel of truth. |
We are ... actually shocked. We always thought she would pick out someone who at least had a conversation with her or paid her. |

We feel that he is making a very, very serious mistake in this case, that there are innocent young men whose lives can be ruined if they are charged in this case. |
We knew the alumni of Atlanta High School were loyal to the high school and the community, but the donations were above and beyond what we expected. We got anything from less than $5 to over $100, and every bit mattered. |
We know that the accusing witness has conducted a comprehensive media interview within a few days of this alleged brutal assault, so I certainly cannot understand why the identification procedure would have taken this long to conduct, nor do I understand why it would have taken such a long period to prepare the report. |
We look forward to getting back the DNA so these young men can reclaim their lives. |
