"Found not guilty on all charges. This is more surprising than the twist in The Usual Suspects. Because?" Because it was a very well written film shot in such a way, whereby the twist was a marvelous surprise. This is just, a surprise of a greater amount. Without the cinematic joy. | |||

"Cochran: …ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Gerald Brof-lovski: Damn it! He's using the Chewbacca defense! Cochran: Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. This actually serves no purpose. I just like referencing it when it comes to any trial. " Naughty....  | |||

"There are too many cases now where punishment for any alleged sexual crime is a civil financial settlement. Unfortunately that opens these cases to people who want to profit from their allegations. If I was sexually assaulted I would want the accused convicted and punished by the courts to stop them doing it to someone else. Taking a pay off or seeking a pay off seems too tempting for unscrupulous people to target the rich and famous. The punishment for a crime should be the same whether the accused is a labourer, a doctor, a footballer or an actor. There’s now too much of a compensation culture. " The burden of proof for a criminal conviction is much higher, beyond all reasonable doubt is the usual expression. Whereas a civil case its the balance of probabilities. So 51% Vs 95%. You don't want to see the conviction rates in R-ape trials, it will depress the fuck out of you. | |||

"You'll be told not guilty isn't the same as innocent, blah, blah. Another career wrecked "Lmfao. Come on not guilty is NOT the same as innocent. Especially relating to r**e and SA cases. That idea is exactly why people don’t come forward because if their cases actually manage to get to trial, it ends up in a Not guilty people think they’ve lied and suggest this person is now a victim.

Because I don’t for a second believe that victims are lying so much. And we’re only talking about cases that get to trial. The number is even higher. Kevin Spacey may well be an innocent man but not going to support this idea that more lives are ruined by false accusations than are ruined by a system that makes it so difficult for victims to get Justice. | |||

"I was ecstatic to hear the news. I'm also questioning why this thread hasn't attracted more responses. I'm sure if he'd been accused all the oooooer and aaaarrrrers and hang him highers would have got this to 175 in half an hour" Predictable where the thread has ended up and is why I didn't respond. Knew it would descend into just because someone has been found not guilty they will still have suspicion, accusations and assumptions thrown at them. | |||

In the eyes of the law he is a free man, of course he'll be looked at by some who for reasons known only to themselves will not believe the decisions..
The bar is set as high as it is for good reasons, he didn't go over it hence like it or not he is an innocent man..
So those that come forward and don’t get justice- are they lying? Like what of their experiences? Is it as simple as, because the law says you are found not guilty that you are innocent and that what the victim says happened didn’t?
I’m not pretending to have the answers or solutions here. I’m acknowledging that these are complex issues and our language should reflect that.
I'm not saying anyone is lying or that people shouldn't get justice, of course with the latter they absolutely should and no one is saying the justice system we have is perfect..
Sadly cases like guy yesterday who did 17 years because he refused to accept he was guilty of the crime he was charged and convicted for speak volumes about incompetence and negligence within..
Agree with that last point to a point..
The flaws of our justice system particularly when it comes to victims of sexual violence mean that it’s too difficult to declare people as innocent. People are falsely accused of these crimes and it’s understood to be a figure way less than those that are victims and don’t get any justice via the justice system.
You keep talking about flaws. Can you point me in the direction of some.
You are joking, right?
I'm not, I'd like to know what flaws you see."I’m not falling for this one.  | |||

"You'll be told not guilty isn't the same as innocent, blah, blah. Another career wrecked
Lmfao.
Come on not guilty is NOT the same as innocent. Especially relating to r**e and SA cases. That idea is exactly why people don’t come forward because if their cases actually manage to get to trial, it ends up in a Not guilty people think they’ve lied and suggest this person is now a victim. These cases are far more complex and comments like this are not it.
You are right, it's not the same as innocent. It is however, NOT GUILTY.
I'd be much more comfortable if we didnt ruin people before they've had the chance to go through a trial and be found either guilty or not guilty.
As long as we’re clear that it is not always the same as innocent.
So let’s not do that.

Of course you're not. You're far to clever to try to back up your claims "I’m not clever but getting into a discussion with YOU about whether it not the Justice system is flawed wouldn’t prove that I was or wasn’t. In fact getting in discussion with anyone on here doesn’t prove cleverness | |||
