He/she was a transgender activist who was running for some office and then was called out for it.
I would say create a culture that places importance on filing complaints immediately, and treats the situation with the severity and respect it deserves. That doesn't mean witchhunt tho
No this person is not famous
Well, with bill C-51 in Canada, they are actually going to require the defense to disclose their evidence beforehand.
Just an awful person whom I no longer speak to outside of accidents
I think John the Other covered that.
That means that Jian Ghomeshi would be in prison now.
If he had been tried with that law in effect.
Really it's sickening how rape has been weaponized
Feminist/victim organizations are trying to make it illegal to present some types of exculpatory evidence in court.
Of course they are it is about power not justice
I can only speak to the two cases I have dealt with in grand jury, both of which we sent to trial on a 7/0 vote including 3 men and 4 women.
One was a 17yo who allegedly forced sex on a 14yo.
Yes, the bar for a grand jury is pretty low.
As they say, you can indict a cheese sandwich.
They other was a serial pedophile.
Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is ignored many times these days
My issue is not with grand juries.
My issue is with the presumption of guilt
Yes, mine too.
I presume innocence but then review the facts presented and make the best decision i can
Yes if that person is a pedophile they should absolutely be behind bars, but I need to assume they are innocent until proven guilty no matter how heinous the crime
We've interrogated the police investigators pretty hard
Many people do not
How did you interrogate the police investigators as part of a grand jury?
We are an investigative body. We can question the witnesses brought before us.
Directly
It's pretty empowering
I was pretty ruthless with the detectives on the pedophile case because the girls looked pretty old and I wanted to fully understand what the accused knew of their ages
When I was presented with evidence that he was picking them up at school, I was satisfied
Makes sense.
Likewise, two guys were ruthless on the detective on the 17yo rape case. They demanded the entire text conversation be read to us where he essentially admitted to doing it. They weren't satisfied with just the victim's testimony under oath.
I really, really hope that people do continue taking this seriously,
The "believe the victim" narrative is vomit inducing to me.
The entire language is centered around manipulation, i.e. implying that there is a victim even.
It presupposes, linguistically, what is to be proven.
I detest that.
