And is there sufficient evidence that the crime occurred and that the defendant did it.
The overall situation that Ms. Ford describes would be a very weak one in order to refer the case to adult court.

I think your wrong in that this possibly is a second degree sex offense and could have bumped him up to be tried as an adult, but it's a moot point at this point legally. My point was surprise that your ok with a guy being guilty at 17 of committing a second or even third degree sex offense getting nominated and voted to the supreme court. I guess your moral standards are different than mine, once a scum bag capable of that, down deep your always capable; given the right amount of skiis.
