I’ll just copy and paste this again;

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.

Wanting something bad enough is not a legal precedent. Everyone has rights.

Everyone other than his victims, it would seem.

Are you saying that no rape victim ever received justice? Or maybe you’re willing to change your statement so that it presets in a way that says you’re pissed of that just HE is able to get away with it.

Because if it’s the latter, understand that you’re willing to change our entire legal system to prosecute anyone based on accusation alone-

Just to incarcerate one person.

Are you being obtuse or are you that stupid?

I’m blocking you now. You’re here to waste time.

You’re here to waste lives.
