7. I think the judge will probably acquit.

I hope not. It sounds like those boys had a good defense lawyer who seems to have sown just enough doubt at every angle. I hope the judge doesn't buy the "she probably gave consent before she passed out" defense. That expert witness who said that should spend some time in Hell.

The judge should go by what the eyewitnesses said, and consider the concerted effort adults and juveniles made to destroy evidence, indicating that what actually happened was far worse.

PS. I didn't think there was a court in the country that worked on weekends.
