This instantly reminded me of OJ Simpson's trials and acquittal. What makes this so believable, at least here on HN? Because she's a young beautiful woman and not a scary black man? I hope people here , which is one of the more rational communities out there, would stop applying double standards. Maybe she is an eloquent writer, but why should rhetoric (or looks) be the determining factor when it comes to public empathy? #metoo and #blacklivesmatter both happened but I'm yet to see black people being judged less harshly and trusted by the public.
