Case dismissed by Court Feb. 9, 1938

If you listened to the explanation a present day lawyer gives in the film as to why the case was dismissed you would know it was because Ms. Douglas's lawyer didn't show up for three court dates. She never did get her day in court because MGM supposingly had her lawyer in their pocket also. As the saying goes, "three strikes and you are out." And BTW, her lawyer's own son said he got turned off from being a lawyer because of all the corruption he saw that went on. ( Not sure of his exact words but that was the idea he conveyed. )
You can see Ms. Douglas's pain in the film; IMO I feel that she was raped and was not a tramp.........

I'm not sure what constitutes a "tramp", but they can be raped, too. A girl could be the loosest girl in the world, but that doesn't mean any man can have her whenever and however her wants. Her body is her body she can be loose or stingy with it as she pleases.

That was another sad point about Patricia Douglas: though she blamed her attacker she always went back to her young stupidity as a cause. Rape is never the victims fault.

Wow. There are some bad people on IMDB but the OP is all in favor of rape. Good to know.
