bush_cheney2004 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 Just another example of the CBC's crack management and HR team...hiring the best ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Boges Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 So the first witness bombed. She recalled that Ghomeshi had a VW Beetle when the assault went down. Apparently he didn't own that car at the time. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/jian-ghomeshi-trial-charges-sexual-assault-1.3418856 During cross-examination, Henein challenged key details of the woman's testimony. The defence lawyer said that Ghomeshi did not have a Volkswagen Beetle at the time of their meeting but did have a GTI (Volkswagen Golf) and that Ghomeshi purchased the Beetle "months and months" after their meeting. The witness said she had a recollection of a bright yellow car that looked like a Beetle. Henein also questioned the witness about two interviews she gave to the CBC where she failed to mention that she and Ghomeshi had been kissing before he allegedly pulled her hair the first time in his car. "That was a lie," Henein said. "That was not a lie," the witness said, adding that she was nervous during the interviews, that getting into all the details was embarrassing and she wasn't sure of the memory of kissing at that time.

Boges Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 So today it was found out that one of the accusers sent Ghomesi sexually provocative texts years after the alleged incident. He's sooooo going to walk. Quote
overthere Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 I'm predicting Ghomeshi walks away from this one. He has a powerful lawyer when it comes to these kinds of cases and the deck is already stacked against victims in these circumstances. Stacked in what way? Either the Crown has sufficient evidence to convict, or they do not. Or have you decided the case based on.......??? Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
WestCoastRunner Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 Stacked in what way? Either the Crown has sufficient evidence to convict, or they do not. Or have you decided the case based on.......??? The point is that sexual assault cases do not have a high conviction rate. It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds.

It's the accuser doing poorly rather than the defence doing well. He may be a seed and a degenerate, but in your heart of hearts could you really believe this woman was abused...and was feeling scared? To me, she just looks like a jilted lover. Trying to contact him at 3AM? What? Is she looking for a booty call?

Hal 9000 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 It was quite simply a vengeful ex-gf. Bedroom activities should be private. She was a vengeful ex, plain and simple.

overthere Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Justice doesn't care who's guilty or innocent. It's all about the legal representation. The Crown has a specific duty assigned to it in the adminstartion of justice. One of those things is to bring charges against those they think are guilty of crimes, so yes they do care about guilt and innocence. The burden of proof is no less or greater in sexual assault cases than in any others. The Crown has to present evidence that proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. With the first witness, it sounds lie the police failed to interview the accuser in any depth, and the Crown went to trial ill prepared on that weak interview.. So yes, we the people have been poorly represented. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
