My doctor arrested for sexual assault!!

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?

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 - don't remember which one.
