Kevin Spacey cleared of all UK Charges

Is he just not guilty of it? Has too long passed to get a guilty verdict when one is due?

I'll admit I haven't followed closely.

Didn't a few of his accusers turn up dead. And people were making Frank Underwood references about it?

Probably just reasonable doubt standards.

If the only evidence is his word against theirs then a good lawyer will get it thrown out before it goes to trial.

• Jurors probably accepted it was unclear whether a "pass" became assault.
• There were numerous timeline issues, and Spacey was able to show that accusers were wrong about timing. Jurors really lap that kind of thing up.
• Spacey came out of the closet hoping that straight people would accept that a gay man is more promiscuous or likely to inadvertently cross a line with no harm done. It's possible jurors felt that way, too.

you know what I do remember hearing something about this. It might have been another trial of his. But the person said he was assaulted at a specific party in a two or three year time period. They have records of who was at the party and Spacey wasn't there those years. I think Elton John testified to that. Poor kid probably had his year wrong.

And no other possible reason?
