They put a fucking 17 YEAR OLD in JAIL for this?!

I wonder if the jury took anything else into consideration. After all they are entitled to return a verdict of not guilty if they believe the law is unjust (and the guilty verdict in this case carried a mandatory sentence).

They were at a party where there was drinking, smoking weed, people videotaping eachother having sex and at which Wilson was accused of raping a 17 year old too drunk to give consent (he was acquitted - I'm not saying he deserves the sentence for this).

Now although I didn't attend any parties like that at 15, I did at 17 (except the taping bit) but perhaps the jury had different ideas as to what constituted a safe environment and whether social coercion took place. The 15 year old gave head to a number of guys that night.
