WHO: Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. WHAT: After International Monetary Fund managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a New York City hotel maid, Vance declared that “evidence supports the commission of nonconsensual forced sexual acts.”
Why it’s dim: After all that hullabaloo, prosecutors in Vance’s office are watching their case collapse because the maid has been caught in several lies.
CURE: Cautious prosecutors who don’t just assume everyone is guilty.
