rssBuck Called Rape Case ‘Pitiful’ Even Though Suspect Said He Knew It Was Rape

In a follow-up to yesterday’s story about Colorado’s GOP Senate candidate Ken Buck and his spotty record of prosecuting rape cases in Weld County, the Colorado Independent has released a key document that appears to rebut Buck’s claim that a now-controversial case was flawed and unable to be prosecuted:
While Buck claims the case was so flawed as to have been impossible to prosecute, the fact is the suspect virtually confessed, according to a police transcript (below) of a phone call between the victim and suspect.
In establishing whether there were grounds to arrest the suspect, Greeley police had the victim phone the suspect from the police station. That call was recorded and entered into evidence.
In the call, this exchange takes place:
Victim: “You do realize that … it’s rape.”
Suspect: “Yeah, I do.”
Victim: “Like in a number of different ways, because I didn’t want to do it and because I was intoxicated and because I was afraid.”
Suspect: “Yes I do. I know.”
Read the complete transcript of the call here.

Both Michael Bennet and Ken Buck will be on Meet the Press on Sunday, Oct. 17.
It will be a good time for Buck to explain his stand on refusing to prosecute the case. The “rapist” has stated, and put in writing, his actions, and called it rape, himself.
Meanwhile, Buck denigrated the victim, stopping just short of calling her a liar.
I'd like to see Buck explain this behavior as Weld Co. DA.
I'd also like him to state out loud, his extreme stance with “privatizing” not only Social Security, but VA medical care.
As an Iraq war vet, anyone insane enough to think the millions of vets in this country who depend on that care, which isn't broken (Social Security isn't either, like the righties claim), will stand idly by and let some extremist screw around with it has another thing coming.
teabaggers be warned. You haven't seen anything until you see millions of vets on a mission of personal destruction.
