You know what? I am too tired to go on about "Just because they were released from jail doesn't mean there innocent and shit". I am not going to sleep though! Must beat my last record...SonicWaffle said:

When the justice fails, accupuncturism, right or wrong, is there to give it a push in the right direction!FreakyFranky99 said:
It works in Thailand, at least.
Clearly 'released' does not equal 'innocent', just as 'incarcerated' does not equal 'guilty'. However, they weren't released merely because of this woman's crazy theories. That, and apparently her willingness to self-harm, were the catalysts that caused investigators to re-examine the case. Upon doing so they discovered that the police had (among other things) quietly hidden witness testimony which made the accused men seem innocent. Working on the evidence available to us, it is likely that the case was fully re-examined in the light of the previously witheld evidence, and the men were deemed to be innocent of the crime and therefore released.Littlee300 said:
I don't think it's likely that A) the investigators didn't find sufficient evidence of the men's innocence but decided to release them anyway, because "hey, why the hell not?" and B) that these men were released just because some nutbar acupuncturist decided (with no documented medical evidence other than her own theory) that they were innocent, and the justice system decided to play along.
All I can think is "Goddammit woman, stop stealing protest ideas from Buddhist monks in the Vietnam War." The title's a little misleading, they haven't been free yet, and I severely doubt they will, unless these claims are backed by, I don't know, ACTUAL EVIDENCE.SonicWaffle said:
Dude, did you read the article? They were released back in January. There was indeed ACTUAL EVIDENCE, in the form of witness statements, which were ignored by the police at the time of the original trial. This nutty woman's theory only served as the catalyst to have the case re-examined.Blind Sight said:
That's her point, and the part I have the most difficulty accepting. OK, the inquiry found them innocent of the rape they were in jail for, but to expect three adult males to all be virgins is a little far-fetched. Were they all supposed to be saving themselves for marriage or something?jcb1337 said:
for all intents and purposes it's impossible to tell if a man's been in a vagina. I guess you could smell his unit within the time it takes for him to do the deed and make it to a shower... but that's about it.
Pseudoscience for the win!

Oops, stopped reading at the ad for Netflix, didn't know it kept going. Huh. Well that's just silly.SonicWaffle said:
Yeah, the 'more below' notice just blends into the adverts. Putting ads in the middle of an article = silly!Blind Sight said:
Perhaps it was those magic words, "I'll set myself on fire". Usually pretty good for grabbing attention, even if it is just a crowd who want to watch the spectacle. Anyway, the prosecutors didn't listen to her. The President did, and he told the prosecutors to re-open the case. Personally, if I were Vietnamese, I'd find that even more scary!Lionsfan said:

Seriously, what is wrong with people? Maybe 1000 years ago when we didn't have anything that wasn't ludicrous folk medicine this sort of belief would be rational. However, in this era it is just crazy to belief in this sort of thing. My week old nephew does not have a red dot behind his ear, and I'm damn certain that he is a virgin.
It seems to me that if she set herself on fire, the problem would solve itself, but whatever. We can release the convicted rapists, too.zombiesinc said:
