It’s because he was famous lol
That’s pretty much the only reason why people cared.
Here was the President of the United States. A supposed leader of the free world, seemingly abandoning “family values” that the US claims to champion.
It’s the same reason why whenever a football player gets...
I have family in California. I’d wager they’d have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.
People can have hang ups. People can be weird.
Beware sensationalised content found primarily online
:shrug:
Sub also pointed out that there were legal consequences for the false allegation. Admittedly mostly for the DA but as pointed out, they should have known better.
Is this a flaw in their system? Sure. All countries have flaws in their legal systems. That’s why they’re a working progress...
So no?
Just take you at your word?
How do I know you’re telling the truth now?
I can agree that testimony is not strong enough evidence by itself. Which is why rape trials should present corroborating evidence as well. Physical evidence or perhaps corroborating testimony. Lack of alibis. You...
Whilst I would agree. You still haven’t given me compelling evidence that this is a widespread issue in the US court systems.
Rather ironically all you’ve done is present a claim and just simply expect me to take your word for it. Hmm
Are you telling the truth?
Yes. And testimony is also a piece of evidence used in such trials regarding sexual assault/abuse, as far as I’m aware. They’re not the only piece used though.
Still not seeing why this case is such that one would make a reasonable conclusion where a person can just be locked up for rape in the...
On what grounds do you base this assumption on?
Give me compelling evidence that this is a widespread issue in the US court system
Because in my country you kind of need a bit more than mere testimony. Or at the very least one hell of a compelling lawyer lol (that was a joke)
Yeah and rape cases don’t exclusively rely on testimony either. Pretty sure both function the same under US law anyway. Such legal matters do so under Australian law as far as I’m aware
There’s this thing called evidence and as our good buddies in the US say, beyond reasonable doubt. You are...
Damn!
Talk about folks that I would rather avoid in my life.
I know some traditionalist kind of misogynistic folks. But even they’d balk at such a mindset :oops:
You mean apart from the fact that I don’t think the US court system relies exclusively on testament in legal cases of not just rape trials but even cases involving murder, theft etc. But okay whatever. Let’s say that’s all that’s needed. He said she said, right.
You do realise that if that were...
Ahh the abolitionists. That’s what they’re called aren’t they? (folks who are for total abortion bans.)
I’ve read that such a movement is comprised mostly of men. Of course there are pro life women and pro choice men. But that specific subset of the pro life movement tends to be rather male...
Proof positive in my mind that anti abortion measures just cause unnecessary suffering and run counter to its espoused goal of preserving life.
The irony of my own position (pro choice) is that I actually legitimately consider abortion to be immoral according to my personal faith.
But to me...
That is just the kind of disgusting mindset that allows actual rapists to avoid justice. For shame!
Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers. He has an awful track record already regarding his (lack of) respect for sexual boundaries.
The evidence was compelling enough to get a guilty...
