Juror on Vandy trial was raped 20 years ago. Didn't disclose it. Messy detail:

Defense will argue this requires a retrial. I've never seen a case like this so i don't know. If you have, feel free to weigh in below.

Victim in this case has been very brave, would be awful if she had to go through the entire trial again.

In investigative reports, Batey was accused of peeing on victim & saying, "That's for 300 years of slavery, bitch."

quote:

The most egregious and explosive accusation against Batey has never been made public until now. Indeed, there has been a year-long court battle in the state over unsealing these investigative records. In the initial investigative report into the rape, which has still not been unsealed, Batey was accused of urinating on his white victim while saying, "That's for 300 years of slavery, bitch."

It was a charge so explosive that prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges all decided it couldn't be made public or even introduced as evidence at trial. Batey denied ever making the comment, but it's included in the investigative record and it's a detail that would have overtaken everything about the case.

I have this really sick feeling that had the roles been reversed, that statement would have been made the epicenter of the entire case.

If true, that's a hate crime for sure.

I'm sure MSNBC will dissect this and say "while unseemly, there is something about this young man's rage that we need to examine further."

Keep in mind Vandenburg, who is white, directed this shite though and did so while it was happening. He wanted that girl, his girlfriend, raped and humiliated and 'coached' Batey and the others -- told them what to do and encouraged them as they were doing it. I kinda feel like that statement was just another means for Vandenburg to assert control and get his rocks off. He couldn't get an erection that night (blamed cocaine but I'm not so sure since he went to her the next day telling her how she was so sick and he had to spend the night taking care of her and according to her she felt absolutely awful for things he said she'd done/being drunk). He also had sex with her then and according to her testimony lasted a few seconds.

TBH, I think Vandenburg is a serial rapist, perhaps worse, in the making. His sexual problems, mad laughter as it was going on, and directing others on what to do fits that profile. I'm not so sure he wouldn't have graduated to serial rape/murder due to that. Hopefully, we'll never know due to him getting caught (I doubt this was his first time tho'). JMO.

That's pretty ignorant considering the country isn't even 300 yeas old.

Oh, this topic is going to spur a lot of well-reasoned, insightful discussion. I can tell that without reading any further.
