Own up ???

Like women who falsely cry rape do , you mean ??

I don't know whether Michael Turner(Le Vell) is guilty or not , but if he really hasn't done it why should he plead guilty ????

I know there are a lot of cases where people cry "rape" or "abuse" and they should be dealt with very harshly with sentences for all of them. My point here is that I think some people are wired different in the first place so that they never really think they have done anything wrong so never feel guilt.
 
I might go and watch from the public gallery later this week. Norris will be there.

Years ago when I was at mancat college I used to always go and watch trials. Remember watching another rape trial maybe 20 years ago and the man was acquitted and his family started screaming slag and slut at the accuser. Really classy family.

Rape is difficult to prove with many allegations not receiving a trial let alone successful prosecution. It's not just a lone woman being dragged in to a back alley by knifepoint. There's women too drunk to remember whether they consented the night before etc. Who exactly was this girl that Le Vell is accused of repeatedly abusing? How did she know him and where did these alleged acts take place?

The outcome of this will be interesting once all the details are known.

If (repeat, if) he's acquitted, there's going to be a lot of people on here with egg on their faces.

The media are having a field day with this one.

Court proves whether or not there is enough evidence not whether the person is guilty or not unless you have 100% faith in the courts?? In cases where it is one persons word against the other it's especially difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

So even if he is not guilty in court you cannot say he is innocent of all charges either for definite.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense but in some cases a not guilty verdict does not make the person innocent necessarily just that there wasn't enough evidence.

I get where you're coming from. There was a couple of VERY high profile cases in the States where two celebrities were acquitted of the charges they faced. Were they innocent? Doubtful. However; legally, they were acquitted of the charges they faced by a jury of their peers and therefore, in the eyes of the law (like it or not), they did not (without reasonable doubt) commit the offences with which they were charged. As may end up being the scenario with Le Vell. People on here have come to a pretty swift conclusion without hearing both sides of the argument. Is he guilty? Only he and his alleged victim know that for sure.
