NYT has an article today about the Tallahassee Police Department's investigations of rape:

Quote:

But records from Refuge House, a Tallahassee nonprofit group, obtained as part of an examination of the Winston case, show that in those three years, its nurses were called to hospitals to examine and counsel 63 Florida State students seeking treatment for sexual assault. Of those, 55 reported the assault to the police.

Interviews with prosecutors and a review of local news reports turned up just two arrests in that span by the Tallahassee police for sexual assaults on Florida State students. University police records show no arrests for forcible sex offenses from 2007 through 2013.

Quote:

In another case, a student and her family complained repeatedly about the Tallahassee police’s treatment of her rape allegation last October. They said officers had treated her more skeptically than the suspect, and one asked if she was sure it was rape and advised her not to tell her father.

The woman had bruises on her neck and inner thigh, she said she had told police that she had fought, and an investigator’s report said, “When the victim tried to get up, he would push her down by the neck.” Yet the same report said she had not resisted. On the day of the episode, she gave separate interviews to two officers, went to a hospital for an examination and filled out a written statement, but the report referred to her as being “unwillingness to cooperate” when she did not give a follow-up interview later that day.

The department did not make an arrest in the case. It sent the woman a letter saying that it would not formally investigate her complaints, but that one officer “was counseled on how his actions or what he said could be perceived by other people.”

He was involved with the murder of two people, but that's not as serious as child abuse.

It's not even clear that Lewis was in the fight, but it was a fight that happened after one of the victims broke a bottle over the head of someone in Lewis' group.

I don't like Lewis or anything, and it probably means I'm a sexist, but imo he's free to condemn people for beating women and children.

microbet- he got away with murder. There's a small probability that he wasn't involved, but it's just that. He's also a super annoying preachy christian who referred to god's plan when asked about the family of the people he murdered.

It was a drunken fight between adult men that he probably didn't start and breaking a bottle over someone's head is already potentially deadly.

I'm not saying the criminal code should rank them this way, but all else being equal the guy who kills someone in a fight is a less bad man than the guy who coldcocks his fiancee.

Readers, especially isolated ones, adored Amazon. “We heard from people all the time,” Marcus said. “ ‘I live in some Podunk town, the nearest bookstore is a hundred miles from my house, and now I can get the most obscure book.’ ”

This is very true. I have half a book shelf that I would never have been able to find without a huge amount of effort
