re: Vandy rape case: Juror on trial failed to disclose rape from 20 years ago

Remember that scene in "Animal House" where Pinto has the angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other while the underage girl lies passed out in the bed? Most guys (if you're honest) can identify with that temptation (well, maybe not underage but the passed out girl in your bed part). Thus it was a funny scene because there's always a heavy dose of truth in good comedy. But I'm pretty sure just about none of us can relate to a friend approaching us and saying "Hey man, my girlfriend is passed out. Do you want to bang her and treat her like one of those chicks in a Girls Gone Wild video? Well, except those girls have their eyes open. Did I mention she's passed out and she's my girlfriend? I'll watch and cheer you on!"

The fact that there were 3 more guys present at the time of the raping and none of them tried to stop it speaks volumes. Bates & Vandenburg were he main two - but there were two others there as well. Those other two shouldn't get a pass on this.
