September 28, 2012

July 6, 2016




That's also a picture of part of the March 23, 2015 police statement.

Time stamped pictures can be faked.

By "investigators came into possession of a photograph that was time-stamped September 28, 2012, 11:33 p.m.," does the police statement mean that a fraternity brother happened to have, in 2014 or 2015, a picture time-stamped for the night of Jackie's rape, that the brother gave to a police officer? 

What I always thought was interesting about the time for that photograph, "11:33 p.m.," is that, although the transcripts of the texts between Jackie and her then-friends from September 28, 2012 seem to indicate that Jackie got the time of the assault wrong when she talked to Rolling Stone, those transcripts in the context of an assault that happened several hours earlier than Rolling Stone reported would not be inconsistent with a Phi Kappa Psi brother trying to show an empty, quiet house at 11:33 p.m. on September 28, 2012.  

Both Jackie and her then-friends seem to have gotten the time at which she called wrong, Jackie when she talked to Rolling Stone and the former friends when they talked to the Washington Post, but it seems as if someone at the Phi Kappa Psi house got it right, even if it's a real picture that was taken as soon as Jackie got out of the house and the brothers then made everyone else who was at the party leave so they wouldn't be there if she called the police and the police went immediately to the Phi Kappa Psi house.  She didn't call the police that night, unfortunately.  

The police interviewed fraternity brothers at the Phi Kappa Psi house, and published the March 23, 2015 statement, months before the transcripts of the texts were public information.
