The Roethlisberger Tapes
Excerpt:
The college student who accused Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her
said she didn't try to fight him off because
he appeared earlier in the night to have a short temper.
"I noticed throughout the night he kind of had
like a short temper, like he would get really like defensive,"
she told police in her second interview with
them on March 5, about 12 hours after she said the assault took place.
She didn't elaborate further on what made her
think the quarterback had a short temper.
The accuser's interview is among more than 50
audio and video recordings released Wednesday.
Prosecutors determined there wasn't enough evidence
to warrant criminal charges.
I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure, but I believe the woman.
And unlike the accusations againt Bill Clinton,
there is no standing army
pushing a million-dollar effort to make Roethlisberger
seem guilty.
