Most of us saw more then just this one video. Of course they don't want to say he is innocent and they railroaded him. The facts not mentioned here are he was offered a deal to get out but wouldn't take it because he said he was not a sex offender and didn't want to be labeled one. The medical examiner said no evidence of any rape and one girl was still a virgin so they hid that and switched to he only raped one. The one that wasn't a virgin admitted to having sex with their cousin that a night and since she was 9 years old so for past 5 years. The police line up had him in handcuffs when they identified him. He had an alibi. No evidence not only of a rape but no evidence that he was ever even in the car. Plus their stories switched up many times. The cousin that raped the one girl said that he locked the one sister in trunk and had sex with the other to his friend but then denied it when confronted.
