Search Results: rape

I ask this because I had a respondent to a prior question who said without a doubt it's only a problem for the right wing in the country.. When I had evidence to the contrary he failed to respond.

I personally believe it's a problem everyone needs to solve.

It seems like a pretty popular argument online is to show pictures of him with Jeffery Epstein. I mean they were both rich and knew each other before all the horrible stuff about Epstein came out, so I don't really get the point? It doesn't seem like solid evidence Trump went to the island or did inappropriate things with children...

Aside from that Trump has been accused of rape or sexual assault by various people. The common argument is that with multiple women coming forward, they're unlikely to ALL be plain lying. But still, if the evidence was there wouldn't he be in jail? With a certain amount of wealth and power you can avoid consequences for your actions but that can only go so far, I mean Epstein still landed up in jail eventually. On top of that, Trump has equally wealthy and powerful people who hate him and would do anything to lock him up. If there was really proof he committed heinous crimes wouldn't he be in jail right now?

I may come off as ignorant as I haven't looked too deep into this one way or the other, but I'm open to opinions from anyone.

A man is accused of rape, and it goes to trial. In the US legal system, the prosecutors cannot hide information that may exonerate the defendant, they must share it; however, if the defense has information pointing to the defendant's guilt, it doesn't have to turn it over.

My point: in a system of justice, both sides would want the innocent exonerated, and the guilty punished. In our system, that does not happen. The defense's job is to make sure the defendant gets off no matter his guilt. Helping a guilty man go free may not be as bad as helping an innocent man get punished, but both are affronts to justice.
