How We Know IMF Boss Is Guilty

Do you really think they'd pull the head of the International Monetary Fund off a plane, drag him into a police interrogation room, and then lock him up on Rikers Island, the New York City jail complex, denying him bail, if there was any doubt about his guilt?

And some poor African immigrant, a widowed single mother supporting a teenage daughter, immediately reports the attack, is going to lie? Her lie would have fallen apart after 10 minutes of police questioning. She's had to tell her story over and over and over again to detectives, prosecutors, and now the grand jury under penalty of perjury if she lies. The case is being handled by a special detective unit that deals with sex crimes- 6,000 cases a year. They're specially trained and highly experienced. No way someone could create the massive tissue of lies that would be required to fool them, and have it jibe with the physical evidence, other witnesses, and totality of the circumstances- especially an unsophisticated immigrant cleaning woman!

Of course, sexist assholes ALWAYS say the woman is lying. Apparently there's no such thing as rape. And that the victims are golddiggers after money. (Preposterous assertion in a criminal case such as this.)

At least Dominique Strauss-Kahn is at least having to do a week locked up. Although he not only has his own cell, he has an entire jail wing to himself, and a tv to boot, according to the New York Times today.

His scumbag attorneys, Benjamin Brafman (who specializes in defending particularly loathsome clients) and William Taylor (imported from D.C.) are already making absurd statements- that if there was sex, it was consensual. And Brafman, before the evidence has even been all gathered, and before the prosecution has shared it with him, already KNOWS that "the forensic evidence will show" his client is innocent. Gee, he already knows what the evidence will show! Amazing seer!

There are honorable ways to defend despicable clients, and their are despicable ways. Brafman and his ilk specialize the latter, which includes sliming and slandering the crime victims.
