This just gets more and more confusing! So now it turns out it wasn't a bikini. But did the pastor say, from the pulpit, that is was a bikini, or didn't he? About the other discrepancies, same question.
(I've been wanting to use that smilie...)
Who knows, Timmy. Things get pretty muddled after 97 pages, much less several years...

The news article on page one of this thread reported him as saying that it was a bikini. So, I don't know what else anyone would have assumed it being.
The Defense Attorney made this comment,
We are considering with our client the various post-trial and appeal options that are available and think that further comment at this point would not be appropriate.”
Actually, as Baron pointed out earlier (oh, some 50 pages back, I don't want to go looking right now) an appeal would not bring out further information, but simply be a review by a judge of the facts found by the jury. (or something like that)

The law in the first trial was determined by the judge not the jury.

So, if there is an appeal, we can know more.
I tried not to assume it was ever a classic bikini because coming from the viewpoint of a conservative or UC, a woman wearing shorts is wearing a bikini, and thus a........ witchhhhhhh! ("May we burn her?")
Maybe someone should have asked Fogerty "Does a bikini float in water?".

Wife and I went to a hockey game a while back. The cheerleaders (known as the Ice Girls) have a couple of uniforms they use for different games. Here's a conversation, after a few minutes into the game.
Wife: I see the Girls are wearing their "short shorts" uniforms.
Me: Oh? I hadn't noticed.
Wife: Liar.
Me:
Wife: I like the other uniforms better, with the long pants.
Me: Me too.
But before she could say anything:
Me: Doh! That's two lies in a row!

I got the impression that the attorney was more focused on the separation of church and state than the facts that were settled on.
