But this is why it’s so hard for victims of sexual assault to come forward and go through a trial. People find reasons not to believe them, even just based on suggestion.
Nobody has even testified that she’s said the things she doesn’t believe she said. But it’s already not enough.

Hmm, I don't think I ever said I didn't believe her, I was trying to establish that I think there is a strong chance that this trial will be hard to prove one way or another what actually went down beyond a reasonable doubt. I'm merely commenting on my reaction to the facts as they've been presented to this point.
I'd argue that my comments showed more of an open mind and consideration to trying to decipher the facts around what happened that night, and that your reaction indicates you've made up your mind on guilt already.
