      <![CDATA[Contra Costa County is corrupt period. The DA often works in tandem with Sheriff Warren Rupf (ala Jaycee Dugard bungling 3 times), judges (Judge Barbara Zuniga who is a  buddy of Michael Cardoza), Coroners (contracted to Forensic Medical ala Brian Peterson who is corrupt and incapable), the Public Defenders Office (ala throwing cases and past inept attorney like I think I will suddenly turn Goth Elen Leonida), etc. to make cases turn out however they want.

      <![CDATA[Good grief.... this isn't so much about a rape case any more than it's about the utter corruption and misconduct in Contra Costa County on the part of DA's, judges, the Sheriff's Office, and various other agencies and civil servants. That's right, you people are supposed to be civil servants.

      <![CDATA[The net version of your article has pictures of several of the figures in this saga. One has the caption:<br>
    <br>
    "Rape victim "Jane Doe" hired the law partner of Dan O'Malley, Kochly's chosen successor as district attorney."<br>
    <br>
    A jury has yet to decide if this woman was raped or if the sexual activity acknowledged by both the man and the woman was consensual.

      <![CDATA[WHY WOMEN LIE ABOUT RAPE<br>
    <br>
    	The National Organization for Women , radical feminists, and Women&#146;s Studies departments, often deny that women make false accusations about rape by asking the na&iuml;ve, simplistic, and self-serving question:<br>
    &#147;Why would a woman lie?&#148;  It turns out that there are plenty of reasons women lie about rape, either deliberately or out of desperation.<br>
    	A U.S. Air Force study, &#147;The False Rape Allegation in the Military Community.(Forensic Science Digest.Vol  II, No.4, Dec. 1985) investigated 556 cases of alleged rape, and found a 60% rate of false accusations. As part of the study, women who were found to have made false accusations were asked &#147;WHY?&#148;<br>
    <br>
    	Motivations given by the women who acknowledged they had made false accusations:<br>
    <br>
    REASON							PERCENT<br>
    <br>
    Spite or revenge						20<br>
    To compensate for feelings of guilt or shame			20<br>
    Thought she might be pregnant				13<br>
    To conceal an affair						12<br>
    To test husbands&#146; love					9<br>
    Mental/emotional disorder					9<br>
    To avoid personal responsibility				4				4<br>
    Failure to pay, or extortion					4<br>
    Thought she might have caught VD				3<br>
    Other								6<br>
    <br>
    TOTAL 							100%<br>
    <br>
    	The study found that most false accusations are &#147;instrumental&#148; &#150; they served a purpose.

      <![CDATA[Begin with Jane Roe, of the Roe v.Wade case. Roe eventually admitted that she lied about being raped for the simple reason that, as a feminist, she wanted to make a stronger case for women's right to an<br>
    abortion.
