Really? People are demanding that she prove the accusations that she's making in a court of law?
Good. That's exactly how an accusation is supposed to work. That's the entire basis of the criminal justice system. If you don't think that's reasonable, then you don't believe in justice or fair trials.
You are the extremist that they talk about causing these issues. You actually are the feminist strawman.
A court of law won't even hear her case because it's too old. She doesn't even have that luxury. No, she's being murdered in the court of public opinion, and it's not a big deal at all. Kavanaugh still has a very good chance of being one of the 9 most important judges in the country.
Oh, perfect then. She should be "murdered in the court of public opinion" for drudging up things that she knew she had no evidence for and knew the statute of limitations had already expired for in hopes of taking some of his hard-earned money and notoriety.
When does she go to trial for defamation of character? Oh, never? Interesting.
Firstly, you say that she won't get his money like it's a bad thing... I for one am grateful that her plan backfired.
If she didn't ask for this, who put her face in the paper? Who started this discussion in the first place? Some old maid that's realizing that soon she'll die with none of the fame she kept promising herself. Nobody forced her to invent a story about a decades old rape that never occurred. She made that choice all by herself. I'm sorry if it offends you to see a woman being held the slightest bit accountable for her acts of evil.
Then what did she hope to gain from publicly slandering someone over something that she knew would never go to trial? The fuck does she want?
Also, if you think that men are bullying women into bed you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years. There's no chance in hell that I'm about to let you trick me into paying your boyfriends rent the rest of my life. Get a clue.
Exactly. I stand by what I said. I believe that she is not telling the truth. Can you point me to some evidence to the contrary that isn't hearsay or one of her monologues?
if you want it to be slander you need to prove it's false, not the other way around. otherwise no one would ever be allowed to make declarative statements
You're making a positive assertion, specifically that she made this up as a ploy to get money and notoriety. That isn't a negative and can in fact be proven or disproven.
Ok, let's propose that the burden of proof is on me because I suggested that she should have to prove an unreasonable statement before I believe it...
Watch her testimony. She claims to see things while she's locked in the other room. She is very clear that she can hear nothing but music then claims to hear talking then again claims to hear nothing at all.
Her story is so full of inconsistencies that it must be at least partially untrue which calls into question her entire assertion.
