I don't know BAM - the Roethlisberger accuser might be nuts. But the fact that she was not trying to get money for herself makes her seem a bit more believable. She definitely has some issues and made some questionable decisions. However, if she was simply trying to cash in (as many believed), why would she agree to donate the settlement money and give it to a third party? If nothing else, the accuser generated some much needed positive publicity for herself with the settlement offer.
What makes her accusations ridiculous though is the fact that after the apparent tryst (or alleged rape) with Roethlisberger she sent out a slew of emails to friends bragging how she's hoping that he'll take her to dinner and see her again. I think her attorneys know that her credibility is suffering, and are looking for a way to get out of the mess gracefully...and have the legal fees paid.
