I didn't make it more than 30 secs into the video of that jerkoff joking about the rape. my neck started getting sore. who films **** sideways? what a bunch of clowns.

I like it when Anonymous uses their powers for good.

This feed is hard to watch.

LoL Stuebenville police department: http://steubenvillefacts.squarespace.com/

is anybody actually surprised by this? Not sure there is much to discuss here other then personal displays of contempt, which is fine.

Disgusting, demented, hideous and more adjectives all pop into mind....but unfortunately...'shocking' does not.

This defense lawyer seems super sleazy, but I guess that could be said by a lot of defense lawyers.

High school kids drugging and gang raping women at multiple locations which is then covered up by a corrupt sherif and prosecutor is all in a days work for you? WTF?

No no, you're right, I think they should be locked up by themselves, preferably with a TV and a nice view, god forbid they get harmed in anyway. Maybe they could rehabilitate, get a degree and be out by 25.

So the Prosecuting Attorney decides if they should be tried as minors or adults even if her son is a member of the alleged "rape crew"?? Her home is also one of the sites her body was reported to be hauled to that night.

Only caught part of the sheriff's speech on that Occupy Steubenville stream.

It sounded like a campaign speech lol.

Defense lawyers should help build the gallows, amirite? That would be a better system.

I'm sure these jackholes are guilty, but you shouldn't expect their lawyers to say so.

At an absolute minimum the Prosecutor / Mom should lose her law license for blatant violations of the Ohio Professional Responsibility rules that govern conduct by lawyers. Whether or not she can be criminally charged, I don't know...I seem to remember from law school that the rules are super-stacked in favor of DAs and Prosecutors in these situations.

For me? No. For small town America? Apparently so.

Look at this and look at Penn State. It seems these sick ****s will do anything to 'protect' their own and to think that there are not many (many) more of these situations out there is naive.

We are all asking an important question that I hope get's answered soon.

Which body/person/agency is going to take over this investigation to give the public the confidence of a transparent process?


Also, if we are going to be outraged at what happens in India and other countries with respect to treatment of women in rape cases, we clearly have some work to do on the home front.

I don't think this has much if anything in common with Penn state. And thinking that this level of corruption is common is cynical and jaded.

Timeline according to City of Steubenville and the Steubenville Police Department.

Agree with this like 1000%. The fact that she didn't AUTOMATICALLY ask for someone else to handle the case the instant her own son was part of the investigation is grounds for an ethical investigation at the very least, and any competent/straight up lawyer would know this. It's stuff like that which lends a lot of credence to this case involving a deliberate cover-up and not just sub-standard law enforcement efforts or something like that.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with this. I think we'd all be better off if we didn't focus so much on revenge. Don't get me wrong, I obviously hate what happened and hate those that did this. But I don't see how wishing them harm does anyone any good.

CNN did an interview with the Sheriff earlier today in which he was saying how Anonymous better watch out cuz he's coming to get them. Funniest thing I heard today I think. Guy doesn't have a clue.

i could have something wrong but doesn't this "County Prosecuting Attorney delegates her authority to special prosecutors from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office" mean that she pretty much did remove herself from the situation?


reading through what the police posted, i think it's going to be a hugely uphill fight to show that there was any sort of greater conspiracy going on, nor do I think any of the evidence they uncovered would actually convict anyone of a rape charge outside of the 2 already charged.

Is there any video of this?

Having institutionalized sexual violence in our prison system is one of the many things that devalue and delegitimize our criminal justice system. Would it be ok if prison rape wasn't an unfortunate reality in general, and a fortunate reality in the case of these rapist, but instead it was the legal punishment handed down by the courts? If not, then what is the difference between wishing that on them, and being ok with it being their sentence? If so, then how about thieves? Should thieves be stripped of their property rights, since they acted to deprive others of theirs?

I understand your anger, I am angry too, but this sort of lynch mob mentality does us no good. Punishment/rehabilitation should be well thought out and methodical-- not a knee jerk gut reaction.

Well, yes, clearly going on the information the police department has provided, there won't be any evidence of a cover-up conspiracy.

Was it the next county over Sheriff? Because Anonymous (or at least the protestors there) did an interview with either a Sheriff or the Chief of Police and said he was pretty upfront about stuff with them. But he isn't the one handling the case.

Those poor, helpless females. I don't know how they survive.

My gears, they are being ground.
