Versus
"I [have] argued against prison [for the Haidl 3 gang rapists] . . ." Parsons, Nov. 17, 2004
* * *
"Two and a half years after the incident, the outrageousness of the boys' behavior remains, but the outrage subsides." Parsons, Feb. 4, 2005
Versus
"She was penetrated with a Snapple bottle, a cigarette and a pool cue . . ." Parsons, March 12, 2006 (He failed to mention that the defendants also shoved an apple juice can almost entirely into a lower orifice as well.)
Versus
"The foreign objects amount to kinky dildos." Parsons, Nov. 17, 2004
* * *
"The assault could have been aborted if any of the three had had the moral courage that night to stop it." Parsons, March 12, 2006
Versus

* * *
"An allegedly unconscious 16-year-old girl . . ." Parsons, Feb. 4, 2005
Versus

Versus
It was "Jane Doe versus three then-teenage boys who sexually assaulted and videotaped her four years ago while she lay unconscious on a pool table." Parsons--demonstrating that he could finally write the truth but only after nearly four years and courtroom admissions by the guilty parties as they sought leniency, March 12, 2006
* * *
"We're long past the point of where anything new can be learned from this sorry event." Parsons, Feb. 4, 2005
Versus
"The message has to be: To girls who think it's cool or necessary to engage in promiscuous sex, think of Jane Doe." Parsons, March 24, 2005
* * *
"I hate [this case] because it has led me to take the side of the boys whose behavior I consider disgusting." Parsons, Feb.4, 2005
Versus
"I hate this case because of its agendas. In some circles, it's become sport. In others, it's politics." Parsons, Feb. 4, 2005

I'm waiting for the book or Dominick Dunne to do a "Power, Privelege and Justice" episode.

Dana Parsons is a freak who thinks he's a genius. If you've ever spent time around him, you'd know he has no social skills. His ass kissing of the Haidl defense lawyers sets a new low for OC journalism. Hey Dana: way to go man!
