the trial judge improperly allowed women to testify about allegations against the ex-movie mogul that weren’t part of the case.
Well, yeah, that’s a pretty major problem. If they’re bringing in allegations that aren’t part of the case how is the defendant supposed to defend himself against that?
Everyone getting angry about this as a miscarriage of justice, I agree, but direct that anger at the judge and prosecutors who screwed it up so badly. Echoes of Cosby getting off due to a prosecutor making a stupid deal, or OJ getting off because the police apparently tried to frame a guilty man.
But the judge and prosecutors should know that this would happen right? I’m a tad above a layman but isn’t it obvious that this would happen? It’s so negligent I’m almost convinced that it was negligence. Or is it that they usually get away with this kind of thing?
