I am totally in agreement with "innocent until proven guilty" and I would want the same if it were me being charged.
HOWEVER, again...DNA doesn't lie. I called the police and spoke with the Sargeant in charge. He told me that they are aware of his "shady" prescription practices and the DEA and local authorities are also involved. He told me a police officer will be in touch to speak with me.
Yeah, Donna - there has to be a process. It's better than some countries where you can be hauled off to jail without any charges! (Mexico et al).
I think of the OK murder case. He was charged with murder in the first degree. The key there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the murders were premeditated, or planned.
Heck, "everyone knows" he killed them. (The civil case for wrongful death was decided quickly). But premeditation couldn't be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
If they had charged him with manslaughter, which I understand covers 'crimes of passion', OJ might well have been convicted. But there's no double jeopardy.
They have DNA on this doctor - it just has to be admitted in court. Wow...is his life over!
I hope you find a good new doctor - I think their office can send a letter to the former office with permission to transfer files.
I don't really understand how DNA proves anything... I mean, couldn't the woman still have had willing sex and then come up with the rape story once it was found out by a husband/boyfriend/whatever? :confused:
Not saying I'm convinced of his innocence but I'm just saying that if her story is true, then I hope there is better evidence than that so he doesn't get away with it.
According to police, every single complaint lodged is consistent with one another. It shows a "pattern". That's very difficult to do if they were all lying or in cahoots with each other. As Judge Judy would say, "If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory."
This guy made the national news last night. It was reported on HLN by Jane Valez-Mitchell or Nancy Grace :eek: - don't remember which one.
And visa versa...ever seen the damage done to a woman when some disgruntled man starts a rumor about her..."round heels", "slept her way to the top", etc. etc? It can be a real career stopper.Quote:

Never said the damage didn't go both ways.
This, however, is what happens when the charges and innuendo are all that matters and no one waits for proof to judge.
