actually it does. In a way. She may have been a victim; she may be a liar. But that is not really the question. The question is: is their sufficient evidence that a rape occurred, and that the accused did it?

If the only evidence is a woman's word versus the man's, in a case where the woman admits that the act was consensual, then there cannot possibly be enough evidence to overcome reasonable doubt. Remember, the woman does not face years in prison. The defendant does, and must be presumed innocent unless there is evidence to overcome the doubt.

One person's word is not that given denial by the defendant.

What is it about a "fair trial" that you have a problem with?? As a juror a decent, honest person could not possibly vote to convict under these circumstances.

As for your last statement: you have never heard of a woman lying in a rape case? What about the Duke rape case?
