34. If the woman were willing to cooperate with the DA
Edited on Wed Apr-21-10 11:49 PM by hughee99
I suspect charges would have been filed. According to some, she was carried, the bodyguards referred to it as essentially "escorting her to the ladies room" but in either case, with no witnesses to the actual assault and a victim unwilling to testify, it can be very difficult for a prosecutor to make a case.

There are many reasons the victim may not want to cooperate, from personal to witness tampering (which I suspect may be the case), but without her, you have a DA involved in a high profile prosecution that they really can't win.
