Swami Prakashananda's side of the story and unanswered Questions ur say?

Answer 1

1) When the case was to be considered for prosecution..the recorded statement of the Accuser was not available and the accuser had a clouded memory is what was said.Lack of that recorded evidence would have been sufficient to throw out that case. Emphasis:Ramsay also rejected the defense's motion to conduct a sworn deposition of the accuser prior to trial....

2)Electronic equipment used for duplicating DVDs at the sherrif's office has since been replaced and is not available for examination, testimony showed.

"Bottom line, whether the DVD was intentionally destroyed or simply lost, it is gone - that creates a real problem for the prosecution in this case. And not only is that evidence not available, today we learned that they have either lost or destroyed the computer itself," said Austin attorney Joe Turner

3)regards ...1) and 2) How would one know what story they had when they came in? That is the first time they opened their mouth after 15 yrs. It was very crucial for a fair trial. 3 years after complaint they had plenty of chances to tighten any loopholes. Even then between them 200 questions by defense were answered by ' I don't remember'! Really....how can you forget anything from such an important event of your life. Now, that is if it indeed happened.

4)Accussers were Three friends - out of them 2 are sisters who are not supported by their own mother, father, sister and brother. Leave alone other people they grew up with. The third one's mother had no relationship with her for years is what I heard. You can see her rambling in many of these forums. She is not a follower anymore but was still not on the stand to support her daughter. Very strange

5)First, you must understand It is arguably the one crime or tort where the accused must literally try and prove a negative. To do so, please know that most judges and juries will err on the side of caution - on the side of a woman's or child's abuse outcry.

6)As a suspect in an abuse case, be arrested and jailed, ruin your future career prospects, and in some cases, have friends and relatives turn against you. If it is a sexual abuse charge, add to the list having criminal charges filed against you, your name added to a Central Registry of potential child abusers, and label yourself a sex offender.

This is all before you have been convicted, possibly not even charged with anything, and are supposedly presumed innocent until proved guilty. You may find yourself fighting charges in civil, criminal and juvenile court, sometimes all at the same time.
