They could have called people from her last incident. Co-workers, superiors, witnesses to movements during that day, residents in her apartment building, surveillance camera owners, surveillance camera companies, family members and friends of both parties, investigators, forensic investigators...

I don't disagree. I don't trust the system here and I think this placates and then justice ultimately isn't truly served. (I hope I am wrong.)

I can think of a lot of reasons. (I also don't think it was random.) I still expect to see a plea deal here, but we'll find out motive if it goes to trial. Now, they don't HAVE to prove motive, to secure a conviction. Juries just like to hear it and it's much harder without motive. Also, she...

I wish boys and men didn't think a good time was sexually assaulting someone.

At this point, I think he showed himself as unfit and unable to handle pressure, or conduct himself properly. This is whether a person believes the allegations, or not. There is experiencing the gravity of the situation and there is being incapable of handling it. He couldn't handle it. I can...

I think he should stop saying "I like beer," though. LOL.

Okie Dokie.

I agree. I an completely shocked with his temperament. This could be a hearing about something else, and I would still be extremely concerned. Sexual assault allegation completely aside, he is not presenting himself as fit.

Why is that something that would scare you? For generations, white men in positions of political power or important societal positions...have had the privilege of getting away with things they shouldn't. This isn't a secret...? (Shoot, even men without positions of power.) Not that his race is...

Oh FFS...who would write "sexually assaulted a 15 year old girl" on a calendar? What does he think the calendars prove? The calendar thing is really bizarre to me. I think he'd be more credible without trying to prove something with it.

I am very willing to listen to his testimony. If he offers something convincing, I am very willing to change my position on this. So far, he sounds like a typical entitled white man, throwing a tantrum for being put out, and not getting exactly what he wants.

He is responding to it currently, in the place he should be. And yes, he SHOULD be doing this such thing. I'm not ignoring anything.

I have worked with sexually abused children and juveniles most of my adult life. No, I don't expect them to remember it. This is not how trauma works for most people. You will always have the people who do remember every single detail. Most, do not. There are always things that are clear as day...

Yes, you can. And he is potentially going to be elected to one of the most powerful, influential positions in our country. These allegations HAVE to be addressed. This is not a court of law, no one holds the burden of proof. This is about character and fitness for the position. If there is an...

So their side is fact? What "proof" is there of that? And why won't the alleged witness to it testify? Where are his "facts?"

So, what is the cutoff with age? When does it stop mattering that someone was assaulted by another person. What is the age where the person is still a good person who sexually assaulted someone?

What facts is he claiming? Out of curiosity.

So if he did the same thing to a young child (she was underage, 15...let's keep that in mind) would you dismiss a similar sexual attack? There does not have to be penetration for one to be sexually assaulted. Not legally, not morally. If he attacked an 8 year old, would you still say "it was...

I'm surprised by how visceral her testimony feels. I don't know why, but I did not expect that. I feel knotted inside. It brings so much pain for so many. We have so far to go.

Unions offer a lot of resources and protection. She cannot be fired for the actual manslaughter charge, because the investigation is not complete regarding the charge. That's just how it works. The chief was actually right about that. IMO, they fired her for what they could. The investigation...
