"The beauty of having no memory is that you don't have to explain what you did and why you did it," McKinney told jurors Thursday. "The problem with getting your memory back is you have to keep your story straight."
The reason Jones doesn't remember is because her drink was drugged by Rohypnol. The KBR press release accuses Jones of being a flirt and enticed Bortz into having sex.
Also in Congressional testimony (and in several media interviews), Ms. Jones stated she only took two sips from a drink. However, several witnesses present at the social gathering outside the barracks observed her having several drinks and flirting with one particular firefighter whom she had socialized with the night before. She was also seen leaving the gathering with this firefighter.
The firefighter admits that he and Ms. Jones had consensual sex. However, he is certain that nobody else was present or had sex with Ms. Jones that night.
This is a sickening legal position for KBR to maintain. KBR would rather defend accused rapist Bortz. Paying Jones for damages isn't even a consideration.
Closing arguments in the Jones case start tomorrow.
Whether Ms. Jones flirted with him all night is not a just excuse to pursue sex consensual or forcibly, what a crock, I expect that from a company that hid and ran from its financial and moral obligations while it was in the middle east.Paid ungodly cash to cover its ass when its contractors opened fire on civilians, and then change the companies name so they can still do business as usual ,
