34. Just a minor nit-picking point...

"Consistent with" is often used phrase when you have evidence that could be due to several different things, but is at least not inconsistent with the claimed cause. Say I had a skinned knee, and I claimed that I had been pushed and fell over. My injury is consistent with my claim. I haven't seen a link to a medical report in any of these threads, and there was something like one press statement about the medical exam. Some have posted things about a dislocated leg, etc., but a link would be helpful.

Someone can get all sorts of bruises in a plain old fight, too, but can someone provide a link to some sort of statement about internal injuries? Saying she had bruises on her legs and elsewhere on her body is certainly consistent with a rape, but I believe it just may be possible to get bruises on one's legs and elsewhere on one's body without being raped.

That said, it is of course a great thing for Mr. Jackson to help out this woman with college expenses.
