This is a great example of “don’t believe everything you see in the news”. I know the victim in this story extremely well, and this so-called rape never occurred. The two were simply very close friends. No news story here folks, unless you want the truth. Only idiots believe people are guilty until proven innocent and believe that those who are just arrested for something like this should be hung. A big part of the time even the trial isn’t fair. It is estimated that over 25 percent of the penitentiary population is actually completely innocent, especially on deathrow. Makes one think doesn’t it?

This woman (Sylena J. Rudd)and the other man (John Andrew Hicks) should be hung in the middle of town. Don’t waste tax payers money on people like this. What the HECK is wrong with people like this??
