trying to film, i think they fucked it up
they dont really exist. His 'friend' was trying to film through the window, but didn't, it seems from the court reports, get anything clearSo where did the supposed film of him penetrating her come from?
There was CCTV footage which showed her being picked up (literally) by McDonald. I cant remember if he was in the CCTV of her being carried upstairs. There were the phone records and the other witnesses that placed at him at the scene. If he had tried to say 'I just popped over, and saw she was drunk, so hung around a couple of hours then left' - maybe he'd have got away with it, but I'm doubtful.
There's a lot of truth in that. But, what really did for him tho was that he lied. He claimed she had been able to walk perfectly well, and that she was only a wee bit drunk, when the footage showed she was completely out of it. I think it's probably almost exactly as you said, in his mind, but when it came to giving evidence and making statements, he had to minimise her drunkenness to excuse his own behaviour. Doing that indicates a level of awareness that what he did was overstepping the boundaries.i think the point was that he didn't think that there was any problem saying what he did, because he didn't think he had done anyhting wrong. he's far from the only bloke who thinks that having sex with someone who is too drunk to remember and incapable of saying no to them is completely acceptable behavior. people who think that sit on juries as well. as do people who may think ti's wrong, but wrongness as in poor behavior, not something that should be considered rape.
the problem isn't in the system of justice per se, it's in the underlying attitudes in society that seek to blame women for being attacked. while victim blaming attitudes are so prevalent, then changing the rules of trial won't make much difference.
It has never been alleged she was unconscious!Having been a 20 something bloke who managed to get a girl back to my hotel room who passed out on my bed.
My first thoughts went great sexy time or invite my mates for twos up but well that's the end of the night.
So fuck him and his so called supporters.
If my barely human 20 something fuckwit could figure out you don't fuck unconscious women he deserves to stay in jail till he figures
I haven't read the whole thread so apologise if this hasn't been mentioned earlier.
The Birmingham 6 were found guilty and expressed no remorse, would everyone hold the same opinion about their lack of remorse in light of what we know now.?
There is something about this case that doesn't ring true with me, not least the fact that it is alleged that the victim had previously made rape allegations against 2 other prominent sportsman , one a cricketer and one a rugby league player!
How do you know that? Were you there?No. Because we now know the Birmingham Six were innocent. Evans is not.
How do you know that? Were you there?
Can you see the problem here?How do I know the Birmingham Six are innocent? Or how do I know that Evans is guilty?
With regard to the former, it's based upon the fact that their convictions were eventually quashed; with regard to the latter, it's based partly on the conviction, and partly on my own assessment of the evidence.
Can you see the problem here?
Yes. Now you can answer!Can you see the problem with assuming that those who are convicted might be innocent, in the absence of some powerful evidence?

Rape is under reported and under convicted. Irish terror suspects in the 1970s England were convicted on little or no evidence, often after having it beaten out of them. Slight difference between the cases? Oh, and fuck off.I haven't read the whole thread so apologise if this hasn't been vermentioned earlier.
