"We're trying to educate people a little differently with this trial rather than just with a round-table discussion," said Lori Morgan, vice commissioner of WAC. "I think the situation - an acquaintance date rape - is really relevant to what has been going on in Athens in the last few years. That is why I chose a case like it."
