Students at San Diego State said they’re disappointed by a decision not to charge three former Aztec football players for an alleged gang rape off campus. KPBS spoke to a legal expert who said the decision wasn't black and white.

"If someone was raped, someone's got to get charged for that. That's a messed-up crime, man," said Harry Carter, an international student from Australia."That shouldn't just go without anyone noticing."

“They have to make a decision that one, are charges going to be successful if we file them? Can we prove this beyond a reasonable doubt?" he said."They don't want to file charges that cannot be proven.” “If it falters in that one spot, it's almost like a cook. If they don't have an ingredient, they can't cook it,” he said.
