Contrary to what conservatives are saying, there is actually nothing wrong with believing Ford's accusation. You're fully allowed to believe someone did something wrong or even committed a crime even if it hasn't been proven. Acting as if your beliefs and opinions need to follow the same rules as a court of law is preposterous, otherwise you'd never be allowed to believe someone is lying or telling the truth in your personal life unless you could prove it.

In a court of law, Ford's accusation and testimony don't amount to much. But in real life? They mean as much as you think they mean, which could be less than nothing up to conclusive proof. Now this comes with the caveat that even if you fully believe Ford is telling the truth, you can't actually then say that means Kavanaugh belongs in jail. He only belongs in jail if the courts find him guilty of a crime. So you're stuck in a spot where you can believe someone is a rapist who shouldn't have any kind of legal punishment whatsoever.

It actually reminds me of the spot I was in with the trayvon Martin murder case. I believed Zimmerman was a murderer who shouldn't be found guilty of murder due to the absolutely horrendously worded laws in Florida.

But anyways, don't listen to conservatives when they tell you that you're wrong for believing Ford/disbelieving Kavanaugh. And dont listen to liberals when they say the opposite. You're allowed to come to your own conclusions as long as you keep them in the context of being your conclusions.
