On Frimpong Gets Six Years

truth_machine if you read my first post you may realize that I'm not just some person who is reading random articles in the Independent. I know a lot about this case probably more than most and all the information points to him being guilty. All 12 jurors gave a guilty verdict... She isn't even white so please stop playing the race card it's getting really old. And it was extra time for the bite, strangulation, beating, and leaving her half clothed on the beach unconscious. Yes I think, and so does the judge, that the viciousness of the rape deserves extra time. The scariest thing about this whole trial is that Frimpong has not once shown remorse for what he did. Psychopaths show no remorse; people who have no empathy or respect for human beings show no remorse. When the police picked him up the first time he was shown a picture of the victim and said he didn’t know who she was!!! How did he not know who she was if he was partying with her all night?!?!?!?! This guy is an idiot and I don’t get why everyone, especially people who know nothing except what has been reported in the biased media and are not involved in the case are trying to defend him.

pinkerbell just know that you have nothing to do with this case and really don't matter, and the people that do have already decided. She matters, the judge matters and the jury matter. In court today the judge stated that he believed far beyond any reasonable doubt that Eric Frimpong brutally raped the victim. I can assure you that he has heard and read more testimony that you or anyone else including her and her parents. You know nothing of her recollections from that night and she should be admired for contacting friends and the police right after it happened. She wasn’t to intoxicated to go and get a rape exam and have all of her bruises looked at by doctors. Rapes are underreported and it is because of people like you who and the media who decide it is more interesting to run the victim through the mud. Alcohol affects people different ways and obviously she was coherent enough to make the right decision to get help.

You speak of her intoxication so much, and if you think for a second that most girls in IV aren't that drunk on a Friday or Saturday night than you are either delusional or ignorant. Beyond that BEING DRUNK OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE DOES NOT MAKE RAPE OK.

Let her finally move on. Do you think that any victim of rape doesn't blame themselves more than anyone else? They blame themselves and are embarrassed about it because of people like you. Yes I'm heated, a girl in IV was raped by the star soccer player and the school backed him and the soccer team backed him and the news media backed him and none of them have the information that the courts have. The courts backed her maybe it's time you people start paying attention to the people who know all the evidence.

Barryman to be honest you do not need to know the evidence. You were not a juror, judge, lawyer, defendant, or victim. I am a supporter of the victim and I personally believe that 6 years is far to short for a man, or should I say a confused little boy, that brutally raped, restrained, bit, and strangled a tiny girl and left her for dead on the beach. The judge sentenced him to a mid sentence today because of the extensive brutal nature of the rape and for the cruel manner with which the victim was treated. You will notice that no news articles mention the supporters of the victim although there have been many present throughout the trial. The media has turned this into the case of a beloved soccer player with a Cinderella story vs. the girl who just wants attention. I wish people would stop trying to look for something that isn't there. Can we finally get to a place in society where a woman who is the victim of a crime of this nature does not have to be bashed in the media? The media is treating her unfairly because she does not want to go public with her story and to them is being uncooperative. She did not know who he was she was!!! A young girl out in IV one night, just like many people reading this have been, was raped and the media and Frimpong supporters are making that her fault...? She did not know who Frimpong was, and if she were just out to get the soccer player she would have sold her story by now. Be rational people!!! The only money she is getting from this is $200 in restitutions and her medical bills paid for!!! She has never released her name and has done everything to shield herself from the attention. None of her friends including myself have been allowed to speak to the media on her behalf for fear of their names tracing back to her. If you take a second to look at the character of this girl it is obvious that she is not doing this for fun!!! This man and his actions have taken a year away from an amazing girls life and it's time for the media to stop skewing the story to suit Frimpong and start telling the truth. I watched reporters jot stuff down in their notebooks today and they were writing lies and writing things they could use out of context!!! The article should be about the honesty in our media. The reason you have not read articles proving Frimpongs guilt is because the media chooses to turn a blind eye in order to support a RAPIST!!
