At least 28 women/girls have come forward, and he has been convicted of rape and bragged about taking advantage of women, his best friend ran an industry of rape, how much more do you fucking need? Stop defending a rapist.

That’s certainly proof of character, but it’s not evidence. There’s no way you can frame this that doesn’t end in being thrown out of court without something substantial that puts him there and committing the act.

Blood samples. Photographs, surveillance video, admission, etc… these things are proof.

Prior convictions won’t count as evidence. But they help with m proof of character- which can only help the prosecution, but doesn’t close a case.

Imagine if I didn’t like you and I got say, 28 people to accuse you of harassment here on lemmy. As a result, you get banned. Is that fair? Now, imagine you DID harass me and 27 other people. As a result you get banned. Is that fair?

If you’re honest, you’d answer no to the first, and yes to the second.

And that is why we don’t allow accusations to serve as proof.

Maybe read the link I posted and stop defending an obvious and convict able rapist.

Maybe they to learn the smallest iota of law.

Johnnie Cochran would be proud of you.

Dude… you need to accept that law doesn’t abide by wishful thinking. Learn how it works and keep your emotions out of it. It’ll help you to stop accusing people who have had rape victims in their families of support rape.

Be better than this.

Again, Johnnie would be so proud.
