The whole ring thing and returning to the room to look for it was one of the things that was weird as well. It the original police report she said it was her grandmother's ring which then you might be able to justify why she might go back to the scene where she was raped and just wanted to get away. But then during the trial, it was mentioned that it wasn't her grandmother's ring but cheap costume jewelry. She denied saying it was ever her grandmother's ring and didn't know why that was in the original report.
Just one more thing that the judge had to think about when considering whether or not her statements were reliable.
