They had photographic evidence for Al Franken. For he said, she said, it seems like it takes dozen of accusers (see: Bill Cosby, Weinstein, etc.). There's one. If Kavanaugh is the horrible person that's being described, surely there are more. |
No SOL in Maryland. ![]() |
There is a SOL for sexual assault. This is not attempted rape since Judge knocked him off. |
Yes there is for sexual assault. |
Didn't she say he raped her? |
NO |
I’m unaware of the law that says that sexual assault isn’t credible unless there’s multiple assault victims in question. |
What exactly is she saying? |
There will be more..................although one of the victims signed the letter. |
Good God. Google her testimony FFS. |
She wouldn't be allowed to press any charges? |
It's a sexual assault. |
"Pressing charges" does what? Gets her money if she files a civil suit? Then she's "just doing it for money" which she probably doesn't need. Convinces a prosecutor to file criminal charges? Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a tough standard, difficult even when the incident is recent, and she's probably not looking for him to go to jail.
There was a guy in high school who chased me around the room with his dick hanging out. I thought it was gross and got the hell out of the house. I'd never sue him or look for him to be prosecuted. But if he was looking for confirmation to the Supreme Court, I'd speak up. (No real risk - last I heard, he was an unemployed drunk.) Not that you give a shit about rational reasons for not pressing charges. More likely it's a disingenuous effort to insinuate that she's dishonest if she doesn't file a civil suit or ask for criminal charges. The more straight forward thing is to say that you don't believe her because her allegations are negative for your political tribe. |
+1 Women don’t come forward because there’s a nasty subset of society who blames the victim no matter what the facts. Even worse in this case with all the misogynistic Trump supporters who think it’s fine to grab a woman by her pussy. |
The PP was talking about the reaction Murkowski and Collins had to Franken, and why that should apply to Kavanaugh as well. The comment had nothing to do with the law. |
