Bernie Fine Scandal, Prosecutors' Case Not Going to Be Easy.

Well Syracuse's mens basketball team keeps on rolling along , but it's tough to tell if the prosecutors have lost some momentum in pursuing the Bernie Fine case . As I understand it , there were initially four accusers related to allegations of sexual abuse against Fine.
The "lead accuser " , armed with a graphic audio-tape just pled guilty to his own sexual abuse charges . Yikes! Not good . Another one of the four accusers, currently an inmate, just recanted his accusations and bluntly stated that he lied to the police about Fine to get back at the former assistant coach for not hiring a lawyer for him to fight a criminal conviction. Wow, crazy stuff.
In any event , the prosecution is now down to 3 accusers...one having a whole truckload of baggage.
So at the end of the day with these problems, the passage of time and statute of limitations issues, etc.....Is this now a case that can be successfully prosecuted to conclusion ?
Your thoughts?
