acupuncture stupidity in Vietnam
Three men released from prison term for rape of an 18 year-old girl because the acupuncturist says they're virgins.
She said examination of a pressure point beneath the convict's ear showed a small capillary was unbroken, which Vietnamese traditional medicine holds to mean that he was a virgin. Hong then examined the other two men.
After the acupuncturist delivered her 'verdict,' the courts reopened the case and found some errors whose significance are not at all explained, and released the guys. No word on what's happened to the rape victim in the mean time, but I'm sure she's thrilled that her three attackers turn out to have been innocent virgins.
Fantastic. Why don't you just duck the girl under water while you're at it? That way you can find out if she's a witch. That would explain everything, wouldn't it?
