It is exceptional, but sadly I find her completely unconvincing. Unlike Ellison's accuser, Ford has no proof and the witnesses she claimed to have on her side have all denied the event happened.

And society is not well served when we allow emotions, fears and prejudices sweep over our legal system as was in that shameful blot on American history.
