That's the point, even when she was 100% certain she was raped (transcript at police station), her statement (written submission at police station) only really says that she was voluntarily intoxicated. So at that point, you could see she had come to the conclusion that because she was drunk and high, when she gave consent, it didn't count. But the meaning of that is, you are too drunk and high to understand what you are consenting to, so someone says "hey, want an orgy?" and you hear "Do you love the whales?". That is why the DA threw this one out. Even if you torture the consent idea, the point is, the boys must have reasonably known she was not consenting and proceeded anyway, which you can't infer from the circumstances described. Even if you torture that, she was voluntarily intoxicated, so the guys would reasonably believe that she was all for this. If you put yourself in that situation, you are wasting the courts time, and, this is the important part - there are women who are really raped who deserve access to those resources!
