What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOn October fifteenth, twenty twenty-six, the New York Post reported on newly resurfaced text messages in the Cornell Seven rape case, in which the accuser claims she faced a bizarre accusation.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe paper quotes one text: "We should smoke again sometime but like leave out the extra five billion men and ketamine."
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt is a strange sentence, I grant you.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThose are messages as the Post reported them. What they prove, if anything, is not in the story.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo I can't ring the bell. I have waited since two thousand nine for a ceremony and the needle is just sitting there, trembling.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt should tremble. A needle is not a jury.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine. The official Bonk-o-Meter rating for this claim is: Pending a Court.
