Who knows how the Dominique Strauss Kahn sexual assault case will turn out.  But the story looks very different today than it did a day ago.  Strauss Kahn, according to reports, was just released on his own recognizance because his accuser’s story has become so suspect.

This case — and again, we don’t know how it ultimately will turn out — reminds me of how fallible we are as humans. I would have strung up Strauss-Kahn on Monday.  I didn’t think he was guilty; I knew he was.  I could see it in his eyes. I was the proverbial neighbor to the mass murderer “who always knew there was something funny about the guy.”

What’s worse, even if Strauss Kahn is proved innocent, I will always view him in a suspicious light. The same thing goes for those kids who were wrongly accused in the Central Park jogger rape case. I suppose that’s just the way the human mind works.

Thank God for our judicial system, however flawed it is.
