Reply #35: I do not envy the people that are going to have to sort this mess out.

Did she only lie about part of it? Did she lie about all of it? Did she not lie at all(until now)?

Can you appeal a guilty plea? Seems to me I remember hearing you can't. I could be wrong. If they can, whether she was lying back then or now they are going to have grounds to discredit any of her testimony. However if she was stabbed I don't think you can legally consent to something like that. IANAL so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Big mess for someone to deal with.

Yea whenever someone of one race is accused of committing a crime against someone of another race it seems that them being of different races becomes the most important detail of the issue. It seems like they throw it out there first and formost like if the accused and the victim are of different races it must be true or it must have been motivated by race.
