Again, as Bob has pointed out several times, The EOAA is not supposed to be the accuser's advocate, it should be a neutral fact finding third party. It wasn't, and that's a big problem. Her attorney should play the role of her advocate.
I listened to the whole interview and there were lots of interesting nuggets and many things to get further outraged about, far to many to recap in this post.
-the woman admitted in the most recent EOAA testimony that she was not severely impaired by alcohol as previous media reports have stressed. (many of her statements are in serious conflict)
-The U of M spent a lot of money, maybe approaching six figures on outside resources to bolster the "victim's case" (so much for being an impartial finder of the truth), on the flip side, they threatened Hutton and the families, and let them know they would be watched closely and that Hutton's help would be a impermissible benefit if not fully billed out.
-The U of M forced Claeys to round up the players and convey to them that they needed to take part in these EOAA interviews. Taking part in this process was not in the best interests of these players.
-Lee Hutton strongly implied that the U let it be known that they would put transcripts on hold and make life very difficult for any player that did not play ball with K Hewitt and her Kangaroo Court.
-There was a second female witness in the apartment that night that left 10 minutes before the alleged "victim", and she saw none of the things that were promoted by the leaders of the inquisition. The EOAA investigators made almost no effort to get information from this very relevant witness
- the Emmitt Till angle, although a stretch, does raise some issues about the way these ten minority men were treated by a powerful white system, all done to protect you young Caucasian "flower".
-The ruling to make the video off limits to the panel was made by some random professor with no legal background. Lee Hutton pointed out that everything about this ruling mirrored a decision that would be made by a judge in a real court and if they are going to have a "play courtroom", they need to do things correctly.
-The players were given very short interviews, done by investigators who where only searching for bits of information to support their intended outcome. Players later made it clear that the statements in the "report" were in direct conflict with their actual testimony. When Ryan P and Hutton asked to see transcripts and see video or audio of the interview, they were told none existed. The U of M brings in heavy hitter outside testimony, provides an advocate for the victim, spends all sorts of money on this, yet they cannot create a credible transcript of the 15 minute interviews each player had.
BS investigation and Kangaroo court for sure- Stalin and Mao (or Robert Byrd and Al Gore's Father) would be proud, other than the fact that they can ruin these 10 young black men's lives forever, not just haul them behind the barn and hang them. like would have happed in the good old days when the Klan and the their favorite political party ran the South.
As I posted this is an odd mixture of racism, Academic PC run wild, and radical feminism, creating a toxic stew these poor young men are boiling in.
