Well, first I asked the question as to why. The answer in her case was not a good enough reason to be out at that hour given New York's crime rate. The other questions is going into another Topic which I started here: Source 9 just for you.

I am a little surprised that he let her walk home or take the subway home at night. I think that this is something that she has done before many times without a problem so she did not really think about the potential of it being unsafe until she was attacked.
Well isn't that how these crimes take place generally. The person falls into a false sense of security because they feel safe for nine days of doing what they do but little that they know the tenth day something bad happens. It is all about percentages. Maria Besedin, poor woman, just made herself a high risk target by traveling at that hour. In addition to the suit I thought maybe she would have protested for security. Airports have security, maybe subways should too. The law has to be changed where liability is not exaggerated by suits, but there needs to be security.

"Hearing the decision about the case - it broke my heart. It really broke my heart," the 26-year-old told TODAY's Meredith Vieira Wednesday in an exclusive broadcast interview in New York. "I was really hoping that changes would be made, that other women taking the subway out there could feel safe and secure. The subway is raising their fares and spending even less money on security." |
