Her Rights Aren't There
She did not even know your last name
She only knew you from Psych 101
If she only knew what was to come
Little conversations here and there
She started to open up
She did not think she had to be scared
You invited her to your frat party
She showed up
Your brothers dared you to man up
You slipped something into her drink
She trusted you so she took the cup
A little drink never hurt anyone
She started feeling funny
You took her upstairs
You violated her unconscious, how do you dare
She woke up the next morning
With faint flashbacks from the night before
How did this happen, why did he do this
After she escaped the house
She went home and told a friend
The friend called the cops
She told the cops she knew who did it
We had class together
He invited me to the party
She was questioned
What were you wearing
Did you drink too much
She does not quite remember
But why should this matter
Something happened against my will
The police arrested him
He got out on bond
She did not know this until class Wednesday morning
How is he here?
She feels unsafe
She went home in hopes of being okay
She called the courthouse
Why is he here?
Because of his right to bond
She wondered if she had rights
She was the one who was victimized
She did not even know what happened after he was arrested
The informant explained
There are not rights available to victims under our constitution
She thought her offender had more rights than she
How could this be
And he denies the whole thing
What does this mean
The trial is 5 months away
The semester just began
She has to see his face everyday
Why is she not as important as he
He is the one who did this to her
What can she do but wait
