Difference Between an Affidavit in Civil and Criminal Cases | eHow is just ehow, so it's not the most sterling of sources. Still, would you agree with the last bit? I mean:
It is still a signed sworn document that can be presented as evidence. She has signed that piece of paper under oath. I'm guessing you have not done much court wise as it doesn't seem like you understand how this all works. This would have been used in court if they had actually gone to court. They did not go to court so this affidavit was not needed. It was presented as part of the evidence though along with her other complaints towards the school in the first lawsuit and why the figured it was easier and better for the school to settle. Now in the 74-page document is where we first see her talk about how his genitals were actually on her. This is a huge detail to leave out and would have been thrown out if they had actually gone to trial. Since it was not in her sworn statement back in 1996 (they would have used that over anything she said in 2003) they would not find it credible especially since she has no witnesses to back up such a claim other than herself. So no we cannot make any claim that Manning actually did put his genitals on her. At this point what we have is her telling a story of hearing laughter in the hallway looking up and seeing Manning's rear end and her pushing him away. That is the only story that both sides truly agree on happened when this first came out. Anything added beyond that time in the court of law is thrown out.
