Quote:How can you say it's impossible to declare someone guilty of a crime without concrete facts when I have presented you with Brian Banks as an example of just that.


Of course every case is different, but the way you'd hear some on this board talk, the men accused of sexual assault or rape are the victims. Nobody replied to my question about the accusations against Clarence Thomas which just came to light. What is the expiration date on the credibility of the accuser after the alleged event was said to have taken place? A week? A year? A decade?

Talking about personal judgement of guilt or innocence,not court judgement(ala the thread about Trump) Banks is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge someone guilty or innocent until you have stone cold verified evidence that they did it.


Yes every case is different. Which is why it makes no sense that you are taking the response in the Trump thread as the automatic response for every sexual assault allegation. There is no expiration date on the credibility of an accuser, it doesn't matter if it happened in 1967 or yesterday evening, you don't judge the innocence or guilt based on when it happened and you don't judge innocence or guilt based on an accusation.
