From Euronews:

France was left stunned and excited by news revealed in the
American media that the sex assault case against Dominique
Strauss-Khan could collapse due to relevations surrounding the
accuser’s credibility.

“I’m happy to see that not everything was black or white. There
was a little bit of grey in there. So now let’s see the decision
tonight,” said one Parisian.

The dramatic twist in the tale has raised the possibility of a return
to French politics for the man known by his initials, DSK.

Until his arrest, Strauss-Khan was considered the best-placed
Socialist candidate to challenge the French President Nicolas
Sarkozy in next year’s election.

Socialist party leader, Martine Aubry, said: “I would like to say
that hearing the news in the American press last night gave great
joy to me and those close to Dominique. I sincerely hope that
American justice will allow the whole truth to come out and
release Dominique from this nightmare.”

Although many of his supporters are delighted with the turn of
events, some believe that even if his name is cleared too much
damage has been done for him to be electable.
