People who do stuff like this should be hung, no matter what the motivation.
Actually, I've got a better idea:
A fitting end.
Update: Pat Belch digs up some new info (content warning: language) in this case, which brings into question the supposed "racist" motivation of the attackers. Still, if they did do what they were accused of, my suggestion of punishment above stands. (And if they did not, then the accuser should be pilloried ala Nifong.)

I thought I first read that she was picked up off the streets after she was able to "escape".
I think after the Nifong case, I will hold off any judgment till all the facts come in. So far, I don't think we have even heard from the defense side yet.

CNN has the story here that the victim "may have known" her rapist. I think they lived together in that trailer off and on and probaby did quite a bit of drugs together too. Can you say crackhouse?
Here is the article:

Key sentences are:
*Defense attorney Joe Spradling, who represented two of the suspects in the past, said he believes there is some racial component to the allegations, "but the biggest factor is drugs."
Carmen Williams had not reported her daughter missing, saying Megan Williams often disappeared for weeks at a time.
Investigators are still looking for two other people suspected of driving Williams to the home.*
So she had no car either? She often received rides to the trailer I will wager. I get a sneaky suspicion the abuse may have been due to lack of payment for drugs.
