https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2019/07/08/spacey-accuser-denies-deleting-texts-about-alleged-groping

His accuser dropped the civil suit this past Friday, hasn't produced the cell phone he owned at the time of the alleged incident - which Spacey's defense team claims contains information that would exonerate their client - and now is pleading the fifth when questioned by Spacey's defense as to whether he deleted any information off of the missing phone.

If this case gets dropped, should Spacey seek damages? This whole ordeal derailed his career and all but ruined his reputation. If he's guilty, he deserves all of that, plus jail time. But these latest developments aren't good for the prosecution, to say the least.

The initial two Metoo cases (including Spacey) are pretty much 100% guilty of most counts. It's the later ones that start becoming suspect especially after early 2018.

Well he is not officially guilty yet. Erm Innocent till proven guilty, it might seem like a lot of accusations but not really anything for a celebrity. I'm still not sure but it doesn't seem like anything concrete until they have a conviction.

In a huge miscarriage of justice. Man even black people know he's guilty. But hold up a minute bro he was convicted in civil court so kinda guilty. Why you lefties always got to make it blax vs white?

Not sure if O.J. is innocent or not but it's a well-known fact that Nicole and Kris Kardashian were heavy coke users and swingers and some have suggested that Nicole's murder was drug-related and Ron Goldman just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time but who knows.

O.J. was also a heavy coke user as well. Not sure about Robert Kardashian but they all partied heavy in the 1980s so who knows what caused the murders and who committed them.

Supposedly former LA Raider and Kansas City Chief star and former USA Heisman winner Marcus Allen and Nicole had an affair in the 1990s but Allen denies it but O.J. says it's true so again who knows.

Nicole was known for having a thing for well hung Black men so there is that. Nicole's friend Faye Resnick said Marcus and Nicole were involved and if that's true, Allen was married at the time.

Bottom line is we'll never know the truth about the murders.

he didn't have particularly good lawyers (supposed to be that none of them were even murder trial lawyers IIRC). supposed to be that it was caused by just plain incompetence everywhere, particularly the judge and the prosecution, as well as the media frenzy having some effect on the jury (making them believe things that aren't true, like that his lawyers were amazing when they weren't, etc.)

iAmAnOrphan posted...

the exception (though it's not really an exception) is a case where the public is especially privy to information from the trial, including evidence that was presented and arguments that were made.

but, OJ is not so much an exception to "innocent until proven guilty" as he is "proven guilty yet the jury missed it".

Not good lawyers? They were called "The Dream Team" for a reason, not just because they were the best money could buy

Prosecutors helped the defense? They sure did. Botched investigation, tainted evidence, racist investigator, possibly planted evidence among some of the other problems... yeah, not a surprise he walked

Civil case wasn't a shock he was convicted. Only need a preponderance of guilt. That was very easy to see.

"the dream team" is just media BS that the public and jury ate up. there was nothing special about his lawyers. none of them were murder trial lawyers and none of them did anything particularly exceptional during the case. it was the inept prosecution that had the biggest effect on the outcome, not anything magical about his lawyers. (but everyone believing that they were impossibly good defense lawyers does have an effect on things.)

I'm guessing you must not have been have been born yet when this trial happened or are too young to know about it. Hopefully you aren't choosing to ignore the truth

Nothing special? Read what they did before the trial and after for their careers. They were GOOD. They charged millions and were well respected. It wasn't because they weren't nothing special

The prosecution helped hand you a win. Does that make you any less of a good lawyer?

If you go to a surgeon who doesn't specialize in wrist surgery but is still among the best in surgery and successfully performed your surgery, does that make him less of a surgeon? That's what you're trying to say about them because they didn't specialize in murder defense

So the media coined them dream team. They called the 92 Barcelona basketball team that too. You want you say that wasn't the greatest basketball team ever assembled at once? A name doesn't detract from talent

One thing I find very far fetched about the evidence against Simpson are the two bloody gloves the police supposedly found.

They were the main piece of physical evidence that tied the crime to him and I just find it hard to imagine that the guy went to the effort to wear gloves while committing the murder, but then just removed one at the scene of the crime, drove home and casually tossed the other just outside of his house in plain enough view that an officer could spot it while doing an outside the home search.

Theres also the fact that both the defense and the prosecution agreed that the murders took place between 10:15-10:40pm, but Simpson was picked up at his home by a limousine driver at 10:24pm

So you think they did nothing? You think they just sat around and laughed, playing on their gameboys all day? It's not like they didn't use every advantage they were handed. It isn't as though the prosecution was such so incompetent that they had to declare a mistrial.

The defense did their jobs, putting on a show at numerous points (everybody remembers the glove speech) and OJ got to walk away a free man. They convinced the most important people at that time of his innocence: the jury.

I don't know what you use or how you gauge the level of amazing defense but last time I checked, when you're being accused of a double homicide and you're a free man? That's pretty amazing. Especially when so many people believe you're guilty

They were GOOD. They charged millions and were well respected.

uh-huh...

the point is that the attitude that these are some "dream team" of lawyers and that that somehow makes the defense's job so hard is BS. OJ's lawyers didn't do anything amazing. the media creating a narrative of impossibly good defense lawyers does have an effect, making everyone think they're doing an amazing job when they aren't. this biases the jury, making them more ready to accept the defense's arguments than they should be.


So you think they did nothing? You think they just sat around and laughed, playing on their gameboys all day? It's not like they didn't use every advantage they were handed. It isn't as though the prosecution was such so incompetent that they had to declare a mistrial.

The defense did their jobs, putting on a show at numerous points (everybody remembers the glove speech) and OJ got to walk away a free man. They convinced the most important people at that time of his innocence: the jury.

I don't know what you use or how you gauge the level of amazing defense but last time I checked, when you're being accused of a double homicide and you're a free man? That's pretty amazing. Especially when so many people believe you're guilty


evidence was handled like shit at the scene.

the glove didn't fit because it was stored improperly, and the blood caused the leather to shrink

Prosecutors dropped the case. I guess he's innocent in this instance at least.
