Bernard Lefkowitz Quote
By this time, most of the defendants had resumed their normal lives. They were all out on bail. They were working, attending college, playing football, dating girls and, for at least a few months in the year, enjoying home cooking. It was pleasant being accused of being a gang rapist, having your picture published in national magazines along with pictures of convicted sexual offenders. But as media coverage of the case receded and then virtually disappeared, they could resume the nearly quotidian rhythm of their lives.
