Yes , we got your point and we will sign the petition now. Is that what you want us to say?

To me this discussion is a moot point until I see the transcript of the taped conversation where the famous sentence was made.

I don’t know why it becomes a big issue making a judgement on Nepalis overall. So we don’t support a guy just because we don’t have enough information concludes that all Nepalis don’t support their own countryman. First of all let me remind you that the prosecution-the victim is also a Nepali. If you sign the petition I will accuse you that you aren’t supporting another powerless Nepali.

Think about it for a while, we have only heard the argument from defense side. Let’s say the girl comes tomorrow and lays out her story to you and you actually feel that she was indeed molested/raped against her will, how would you feel signing the petition? Let’s say she claims that yes she was molested against her will but she kept quiet because she was threatened of deportation and at that time she didn’t know her rights. Her stories changed because she just couldn’t recall all the details to the dot. Why would she phone and ask to have the conversation taped if she was trying to frame him? She is accused of filing the rape case when the she had issues with her visa, but how did the issues came up all of a sudden? She filed the case and withdrew and filed again after she was stopped from coming. She also didn’t report the rape case earlier. But haven’t we heard of countless domestic abuses that have gone years without being reported? Her backflipping on the accusation could have various justifications, such as she wanted to let it go considering the amount of agony it would cause her but later she had to press charges again because she was stopped by the defense to come to US.

I am not trying to build a case for the prosecution. All I am saying is we are hearing from one side and making the judgement to sign the petition. Let’s hear the actual gist of the story which revolves around the tape conversation. You might not give so much importance to your signature but I for one don’t want to be a part of anything that has a potential of supporting a merciless criminal. Let’s get the story straight first.

Enuff said.
