RAPE CHARGES DROPPED FOR KEITH HOWARD DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE

MARCH 26TH, 2017

​

Early this morning, the long awaited People V. Howard verdict has arrived, with mixed reactions from all around. 

​

Howard was found not guilty of crimes of sexual assault against Jane Doe, the 17 year old girl from Richmond, Virginia who submitted the claims of rape. 

​

The Doe family left the courtroom in tears, while the Howard family celebrated the verdict. 

​

"It's relieving to finally see these cases of false accusations being cracked down on," says Howard's father. "Time and time again, these ridiculous cases are built on innocent young men who respect girls, these are words that I am typing." I like to go on long walks on the beach.

 

This is a news article about rape and Keith didn't do it apparently. In the court room, it was the lack of evidence and the mishandled rape kit taken on Doe, and that really sucks. "These are words, and we need to make it seem like this is an actual news story" says Chris, the courtroom person and the one who is writing this article.

​

Now that we have reached this paragraph, I feel like this is enough. Good for Keith Howard, but it sucks for Jane Doe, because no one believes her, but she clearly went through a terrible trauma. Who knows what will happen to Keith now. Stay tuned.
