The case doesn't rule in their favor

They would face your penalties

going to court is different than dying; if a court doesn't rule in the favour of the prosecution (and the prosecution wasn't lying), the plaintiff doesn't face charges??

i dont get what ur trying to say..?

there was proof that her allegations were false

Yea

if there was no proof, then that'd be debateable

Only on those cases I would support a penalty

yeah

same

there's usually not much proof of sexual assault tho

it's a he said she said scenario

which means people tend to believe the victim, but the majority of accusations are true

we shouldn't disregard rape allegations because of a few terrible people

Obviously

Also rape kits exists

yeah

That case was a witch hunt

Basically

"But what if the rape was real"

there is no what if in this scenario

@ashnaa I don't think any allegation of any crime should be immediately disregarded, however I am a strong supporter of innocent until proven guilty

We are not a society ruled by the mob, we do not conduct trials by media. That is what happened to kavanaugh

"Even the most vocal or passionate feminists will agree that the hashtag is only asking you to give the benefit of the doubt to the survivor who is often a woman or belonging to a disenfranchised part of the society, rather than automatically giving it to the perpetrator who is often a man. As Tarana Burke, civil rights activist and founder of the #MeToo movements put it in an episode of Mic Dispatch: “‘Believe women’ or ‘believe survivors’ is not just like, ‘Believe us at all costs, don’t investigate,’ you know, ‘If I say it, it’s true.’ It is—let’s start with a premise that people aren’t lying and at least give them the respect of interrogating what they’re saying.”

you don't need to disregard innocent until proven guilty or due process if you give the accusers the benefit of the doubt

yeah the purpose of media is to share your opinions and stuff, so that's just what people were doing

Its pretty much the court of public opinion

and in that court

he was guilty

or treated as such

the media doesn't decide the outcome of a topic; it voices the opinions of the general public on the certain topic

In an ideal society we wouldn't have court of public opinion but there's no way to even possibly limit it without completely and entirely invading people's first amendment right

thats correct @ashnaa

False rape accusations should carry 50% of the jail time

oh and it's not wrong cause the comments made by the media aren't defamatory as they haven't been proven false yet

GG @ashnaa, you just advanced to level 9!

Or 100%

yep agree if there's reasonable proof

Yes
