Roethlisberger attorney claims accuser's words prove lies
Article here Excerpt:
'Attorney David Cornwell released a statement on Tuesday requesting the accuser to drop her sexual assault civil lawsuit against Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. In a statement entitled "Andrea McNulty's Own Words Prove She was Not Raped By Ben Roethlisberger," Cornwell contends that McNulty's online behavior is inconsistent with someone who had been sexually assaulted. (Via the Reno-Gazette Journal, a pdf of the statement can be found here.)
The statement includes various e-mails and online chats that McNulty was said to have had with "Ben Millikan" aka "Ben the Soldier" the online persona that Roethlisberger's lawyers believe was McNulty's fictious online soldier boyfriend. I'm an attorney with a background in both civil and criminal law, so I hope to sort out what some of this means for you.

E-Mails Talking About Roethlisberger. Cornwell released a number of communications that suggest that McNulty wasn't afraid of Roethlisberger and talked about him in a positive way less than 24 hours after the alleged assault:
"This golf tournament has been really fun. I am really excited because we are all going to see Journey tonight and that will be soooooo much fun. Speaking of which I need to head over to a dinner with your lookalike [referring to Ben Roethlisberger, as noted in the email July 9th] and a few others before heading out."'
