Here's to hoping justice is done for what those evil men did.

Hi WomenInNews,

We understand that the Cornell 7 case is major news and people want to share different reports and perspectives on this.

We've had many posts about this over the last few days, so in line with rule #6 on No repetitive and duplicate posting further posts will be held for moderator review. This is to prevent the subreddit from becoming too focused on this topic and crowding out other important stories.

You're welcome to contribute your thoughts to existing threads and if your post covers something substantially new it will still be reviewed by the mod team for approval.

Also a reminder of rule #4 to be respectful of each other - we welcome different opinions and thoughtful discussion, but we don't allow personal attacks or insults, whether directed at individuals or at groups of people, victim blaming or hate.

Thanks all!
