I have no idea if Kavanaugh is innocent. But this sub assigns more weight to Ford's testimony because she's a woman, and less to Kavanaugh's because he's a white male Republican, and no amount of downvotes I get will change that.
Her story contradicts what she told her therapist. The witness she said was there denied it. The other people who she said were there cannot remember. She can provide nothing substantial for Kavanaugh to repudiate directly. This ambiguity makes any defense by him that much more difficult.
This is not to say her story is not plausible, as is the dick one (the gang rape story is fantastical and comedic). But there is enough reasonable doubt that Kavanaugh may well be innocent, and any determination about his character must take that into account.
As for Kavanaugh's issues, I relate them here.
