Emma Swan is done with dating and relationships, regardless of the fact that Mary Margaret is determined to set her up with someone while taking her out barhopping. It's just too bad for MM that the one guy Emma has her eyes on at The Captain's Rum is the one guy her sister-in-law refuses to set her up with. Ruby and Mary Margaret try to warn her about the bartender's infamous reputation as the bad boy of Storybrooke, but Emma refuses to listen. Besides, she's not looking for anything serious, only someone who can give her a night of pure bliss without all the strings. And she has an inkling Killian is the perfect man for the job. What could possibly go wrong?
From the evidence admitted at the trial, the jury could have found the following facts. The three separate acts of rape by the defendant occurred in the home of Mary's Aunt Marilyn during August (twice) and September (once), 1990, when Mary was eleven years old. Mary was staying with her aunt while her mother was in the hospital and, afterwards while her mother was recuperating at home. In each instance, Mary was awakened by the defendant, who was on top of her; her pants were pulled down to her ankles, and the defendant was penetrating her. Mary's younger brother witnessed one of the incidents, but he was unable to identify the date of the incident. There were no witnesses to the other two events.
The Commonwealth argues that if there was error it was harmless because the jury returned a verdict on the "only charge" corroborated by the evidence (the complainant's brother testified that on one occasion he saw the defendant on top of his sister "humping" her, and he heard her say
"stop"). As we said at the outset, there were two identically worded indictments charging a rape in August, 1990; the third indictment charged a rape in September, 1990. The jury found the defendant guilty of the first of the two indictments charging an August rape. The complainant's brother was unable to identify the day or month of the event he allegedly witnessed. As we noted earlier, Mary told Donahue that the rape in the living room was the second offense, while she testified on direct examination that the rape in the living room was the first offense. The same difficulty adheres to the mother's fresh complaint testimony; Mary told her mother that she had been raped by the defendant but no more. The result is that the brother enhanced Mary's credibility only with regard to one unidentified episode. The jury's verdict remains inscrutable. See also Commonwealth v. Powers, 36 Mass. App. Ct. 65, 70 (1994) (police officers with extensive experience in sex abuse cases likely to be viewed by jury as especially qualified to judge the credibility of children). We conclude that the judgment may have been "substantially swayed by the error." Commonwealth v. Rather, 37 Mass. App. Ct. at 149, quoting from Commonwealth v. Peruzzi, 15 Mass. App. Ct. 437, 445 (1983). See also Commonwealth v. Flebotte, 417 Mass. 348, 353 (1994).
More important than the difference between the testimony of the police officer in Montanino and the police officer's testimony in this case is the strong corroboration here of the victim's testimony as to the rape in the living room. That incident was corroborated by the victim's brother, who at the time of the event was eight years old. He testified that, one night when he was in the kitchen, he saw the defendant "humping" his sister. The only incident he could have seen from the kitchen was the one on the first floor, the one identified by the victim as the first to occur. His testimony that he was sad and went home late that night after being hit by the
defendant was corroborated by his mother, who testified that during the period she was in bed after her hospitalization, her son, who had been staying with her sister, came home one night at one in the morning, the only time he had ever come home so late.
Lyric Rose of St. Louis, Missouri My daughter is young, and she likes the show "Zoey 101," but she's old enough to be asking questions. I'm hoping her father and I can sit her down and explain that sometimes we make poor choices and we are responsible for the consequences. Hopefully citing examples of when she's told a lie and gotten caught and the upcoming birth of her brother will help to clarify our discussion. They are teaching "Health" to children younger and younger, and I'm certain she has a pretty basic understanding of how things happen. All we can do is hope that our message sinks in. And pay attention and listen and perhaps catch problems before they become unmanageable. Thank you.
Natalie St. Ange of Victorville, California My daughter heard the announcement. She is 11 and watches "Zoey 101." Her first reaction was "Great. Now she won't be taping 'Zoey 101' anymore." I thought it was funny, but realized that my daughter, in her own way, knew how a baby can impact Jamie's life and career. I try to talk to my daughter about waiting until she is married and told her what the challenges are (coming from a young single mom who is now married). I think for the parents out there who don't know what to say I would recommend not being judgmental. Jamie is probably scared, but it takes a big heart to want to keep the baby. Most kids would have gotten an abortion or hid it. She actually took time to make the decision. Second, use this as an opening to finally talking to your kids about teen pregnancy and how difficult life can be if he/she becomes a parent at a young age. I just feel really bad for her. Most people are probably looking down on her, but I was in that boat and I was just fine. Then again, I got pregnant at 18, and it does make a difference. But she works, has a good job, makes a lot of money and has the money for resources needed to ensure the baby is taken care of. Above all else, she won't put herself in the same position her sister has. She seems to be aware that she'll be watched and just may surprise everyone.
That being said, the mistake is made, and it's time to move forward. It is a good (if tentative) sign that she has stepped up to the plate and taken responsibility for her actions. Despite the couple's mistake, it is their mistake, not ours. The only difference between them and the thousands of other teen parents in America is that she's Britney Spears' sister and a TV personality, which somehow, through the warped American infatuation with celebrity, makes it a newsworthy event. As a society, we need to step up as well and support the new family. We don't have to agree with how it got this far, but is it right to shun a baby because of the actions of its parents? One more thing, I definitely give her credit for keeping the baby. It's a tough choice, and, in my own personal opinion, she made the right one. So to the new family-to-be, congratulations. May your lives not turn into a kind of ridiculous soap opera that Britney's has.
Lauren Middleton of Dublin, Ohio I'm a 24-year-old mother, and my sister became a mom for the first time at 16. Her second son was born when she was 19. All you can do is educate your children. If you tell them what not to do, they'll do it. Once they hit the teenage years, and they start being allowed to go out with their friends and start dating, you have to trust that what you taught them is/was enough. When my daughter gets older, I plan on educating her on the consequences of premarital sex (she was born out of wedlock, but I was a bit older -- 23, to be exact). Just watching my sister struggle with her decision to give her son up was tough.
Arden VanNatten of Schenectady, New York I'm telling the kids "Zoey101" has been canceled. I hope Nickelodeon does the right thing and cancels the show. She is a role model for young girls. Looks like she's following in the footsteps of her sister.
Mel Nutter of San Diego, California Jamie was shocked when she found out she was pregnant? Did she realize that sex can lead to pregnancy? This family is so messed up. Big sister is an unfit mother. Little sister is irresponsible. Isn't there any parental guidance in that family? Let me give everyone some advice: First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage.
Geoffrey Jacks of Blaine, Minnesota My children (13 and 16) and I have had these conversations in the past. Unfortunately, they have been exposed to the results of underage and premarital sex through acquaintances at school. What I want them to focus on in this particular event is how quickly a teen icon (yes, my daughter has been known to watch "Zoey 101") disappears from the popular public eye. She can, at best, reinvent herself as her sister did, though not well apparently. I compare this issue to the Vanessa Hudgens nude photo fiasco. Disney very quickly (and probably rightfully) moved the focus from Hudgens to co-star Ashley Tisdale. I imagine Nickelodeon cannot afford to do otherwise. 2ff7e9595c
