I can't see how you draw the conclusion that it's all "political correctness" to blame.
I said it played a part.
I only entered this debate because I saw you discredit the author of the article because she's also selling a book, and then a few posts later mock someone for casting the same kind of doubt on research conducted by someone whose career depends on that research having a particular outcome. You were doubting that the hate crime trial even happened, so I found the evidence for you. Now you're trying to say that it was all just a big administrative error.
I'm sure there were other factors at work, but a reluctance to be seen as Islamophobic was certainly one of those factors. And I find it hard to believe that there was just the one cop that knew the girl had been raped by her accuser. No-one else ever knew the context of her supposed hate crime, right up until she was put on the stand?
