Errata
Broad got herself in an industrial strength huff over this story, and frankly, I don’t blame her. My immediate reaction, this being Georgia, was that this was an old southern democrat, protecting his own.
Turns out, I was wrong. Yeah, you know, it happens. Actually, I still don’t know the political association of the judge, but the kernel of the story is this: Daniel Day, son of republican senator Burke Day, allegedly raped the lady in question.
Now, if this was my kid, he’d be looking for his teeth. In hell. However, there seemed to be something hincky about this case- the feminazis have their panties in a wad about the judge apparently throwing this case out because the woman in question “wasn’t a virgin”. Me, I didn’t buy that, so I dug a little.
It didn’t take long to discover that the attourney, a Ms. Farahany, seems to specialize in this sort of case.
Reading the website of the lawyers, and reading the details of the case, this started to smell like the Duke LaCrosse case. Still, the details of a woman’s sexual history are supposed to be inadmissible in criminal cases everywhere, right?
Well, apparently, they are. This wasn’t a criminal case, this was a civil case. This woman wasn’t taking young Mr Day to court to get justice, she was taking him to court to get a payday. So those rules don’t apply.
Listen: No means no. Yes even means no, if a woman is incapacitated or underage. Frankly, I never touch a woman- ANY woman, other than a handshake, unless I am intimate with her. I get extremely uncomfortable with touchy-feely women, and there are people I stay away from because they can’t keep their hands to themself.
Not all men are like me, sadly. And frankly, not all women are ladies.
I don’t know all the details of this case, but it’s easy enough to find people who will give their opinions. A man claiming to be the alleged defendant even comments here.
No, this wasn’t the good old boy democrat network of dirtbags giving this kid a pass because he was connected. It seems like it’s a lot worse than that.

I’ve never liked having a woman I’m not involved with or married to feeling me up.
I wonder if the class of (heterosexual) men who respond negatively to touchy-feely women have a lower incidence of divorce.
PS: Now that I’m married, that’s changed to “woman I’m not married to”, period.
From what I’ve read, her attorney has handled the whole thing spectacularly badly, too, but that’s a whole other issue.
For me, the issue was purely and unequivocally that the judge, whatever his political affiliation, blatantly took a colossal dump on both federal and state law regarding sexual history. I mean, if what happened to Ross happened to any of the women you love (or let’s extend that to anyONE, since rape isn’t limited to male-on-female), I can’t imagine you’d be thinking about who the judge supported in the primary when you were bashing his head in with the butt of your gun (or at least thinking about it). I know *I* wouldn’t be.
And yes, the defense can go after sexual history in a civil case in Ga. as I understand it, but even then it REALLY has to be make-or-break before it’s allowed. Judging from what I’ve read about his defense, Daniel Day wasn’t one of those make-or-break situations.
And that I appreciate you looking into the case goes without saying. :)
“blatantly took a colossal dump on both federal and state law regarding sexual history”
“the defense can go after sexual history in a civil case in Ga.”
The two statements are self exclusive. If it’s allowable, the judge didn’t “Take a dump” on anything. Everything happened within the law, period. The judge apparently did his law admirably, but the feminazis have to have someone to blame, so it’s him. Couldn’t be the girl was just a goldddigger,
The lawyer? I suspect she messes up a lot of things, because it seems as if she’s that kind of lawyer.
As I said, it all smells like the Duke LaCross thing to me.
Very believable discourse on page 6.
Much like the Duke case, scumbags all
I’ve noticed low women tend to find themselves in this type of situation. Plenty of blame to go ’round for all.
Then I guess I should’ve read more closely your opinion before getting excited.
I’ll excuse myself from this thread before I blow another gasket.
do not trust my opinion. do the research and prove me wrong. I was honest enough to admit I was wrong. can you be?
Wise policy about not engaging touchy feely women.
After being accused of lewd comments and inappropriate touching by a woman who came to him for counsel – she later confessed that she was starved for attention and had completely fabricated the accusations – my dad, who had actually never counseled the woman and had never even been in a room alone with her, decided from that point on that if he was to have a one-on-one conversation with another woman who wasn’t family, my mom had to be present. Healthy paranoia.
I noticed this blog a few dags ago on feministing.com. As a feminist, it made me sick. It appears that even though all of the evidence seemed to suggest the girl was lying, the writer and commenters on the website were hellbent on destroying Day’s name. Why? Because he is a man and she is a woman. First of all, please don’t think that all feminists are this way. While I used to enjoy a lot of their articles, I have decided that if this article was handled unfairly, then others have too.
You are right when you said that her attorney seems to be an ambulance chaser. I checked out her website through a link in the comment’s section. Their firm seems proud to be life ruiners! I was so happy to see you write that.
Also, my heart hurts for Day and his family. The fact that people think he “paid his way out” of this ordeal is silly. Go through the comment’s section of the feministing.com website’s article. Just look at how many people attack him!
Here’s the bottom line: No one knows what really happened between Day and Ross EXCEPT Day and Ross. Day very well could have assaulted Ross. HOWEVER, all testimony and evidence pointed to Day’s innocence and her lying. It’s not hard to figure out when you actually LOOK at the court documents (something that most commenters on the aforementioned website didn’t do).
