I wouldn't say she lacks credibility - I would say the evidence was against her. That's really it.
Having tuned into this with no skin in the game (actually of the opinion that the accuser likely had a case, in fact) the evidence that appeared late in the game seemed to be the biggest factor. The witness testimony, testimony that she stopped drinking at 11, deleted texts... that's a pretty big mountain of evidence to overcome.
I still stand by my assumption that she gave conditional consent... i.e. she was hoping she could get a longer term in with Rose by conceding certain sexual favors and then became increasingly freaked out when things didn't go that way. She could have genuinely felt "raped" by the situation several months in hindsight but other people can't be held responsible when somebody's expectations of a situation aren't met.
