I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, and I hate to criticize someone who has, but it really, really rubs me the wrong way when I hear what sounds like legit propaganda such as the claim that Ms. Meyer "spilled" coffee on the football player/alleged perp. "Spilling" is an accident, and certainly meant to convey something less than a deliberate assault with hot coffer, so right there the parents lost me. If she deliberately tossed hot coffee on someone, but had a good reason for doing so, just say it. Or if was an accident just say that, which I'm sure they would have.
Then, in the interview with the lawyer on CNN, the lawyer kept saying that Stanford did something wrong by sending the email notice when it was "dark" at 7pm, and when Katie was alone. A grown woman is afraid of the dark at 7pm? Her room had no lights? Is Stanford supposed to know whether she is with someone at the moment they hit "send" on the email? It really seems like a stretch and if they have to stretch it that far, how weak is the case? I don't have any insight into what happened other than what I hear in the news, so I have no idea if the case is weak or not, but I really hope they have more than what they are alleging in the complaint.
And finally, are we really supposed to believe that a "woke" liberal university in California has now decided that they will deliberately target a star female player on a championship-winning soccer team to protect a male athlete - one accused of rape, no less - on their weak-ass football team? There's no freaking way I'm believing that. Someone let me know if there's something I missed, because that lawyer did the family no favors in the CNN interview.
