Just because the "victim" is claiming that she did it to herself... doesn't mean that SHE actually did it to herself. More news about the "victim" is not pointing to evidence that she is somewhat "mentally unstable". So more or less, you can't go by what she says.
Those people who are in jail for this case probably are not "innocent". But for now, you can't really trust the statements that are being given by the victim since they seem to be all over the place. Her own mother even said that she was "slow"...
Here is another article about this from the Associated Press where they discuss the issue: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...dVXDgD9BG09H80
So stop waggin' the "you're wrong" finger until someone can absolutely prove that it is wrong. Nobody knows at this point.

While I agree with your sentiment that no one knows what happened, it does strike me as wrong that these individuals are in jail when there is obviously a reasonable doubt whether they committed any crime. As others have stated, maybe they plead guilty to get a reduced sentence since they figured there was never any chance they wouldn't be convicted.
