Blueseats, Decker had subsequent "meetings" with Marbury and dated a member of Marbury's entourage.
I wonder, without making any accusations (honestly) if this issue of “self control” would even be brought up or pursued by Brown’s defense team if so many people didn’t have a problem with a black man being with a white girl.
We are all entitled to speculate until the cows come home. I saw your more impassioned presentation of this position in those deleted posts and I think in certain instances, like as utilized by some journalists, your point may hold some validity. But, largely I think Anusha had cause for true concern about how power was being wielded at MSG, so for her I don't think it was an issue of race. I think she would have been just as concerned if it were a black intern. For instance, I think we saw similar concerns regarding the relationship between Clinton and Lewinsky (both white) where it was felt a person of great power exploited the naivety of an underling. In some ways Lewinsky too was the instigator of the relationship, and therefore "in control," but now removed from the situation I'd think when she looks back on those days she realizes she was less in control than she thought.
I can't speak for anyone, but Anuscha's claim was that Decker told her she felt she had to go with Marbury because of who he was. A seven person jury found Anucscha more credible than Isiah/Dolan, and apparently they felt that those who testified on behalf of Anuscha had less to gain personally in doing do than those who testified against her. That's all we really know.
