What a circus indeed. What an expensive circus! With Higgins clowning outside the court, possibly getting herself into more trouble.

Don’t drink…and save yourself a lot of money and trouble you’d otherwise avoided with sober thought.

Seems to me that that is the truest and most accurate message in this case which is all too common.

All this dilemma needs is a bright young self motivated entrepreneurIal lawyer to sue the alcohol industry for damages and bingo, end of problem,; then the children can go back to play sensibly.

An enjoyable night out, with a promise of romance, need not gravitate to a dogs breakfast next morning for opportunistic lawyers, congregating around a police cell like blowflies.

AND…No means no !! Learn that one well.

Good advice.

It seems to me in a couple of prominent cases the young women want to be 'unshamed' or told it wasn't their fault. But it was partly their fault through drinking or putting themselves in vulnerable situations. According to feminists that is victim blaming. Note that a candidate from Alaska for US Vice President had a pregnant 15 year old daughter. Nothing was done to charge the father with statutory rape so it seems the opprobrium is selective.

Hard to prove or concocted rape allegations seem to be more of a 21st century phenomenon. Back in the 20th century many women must have regretted trysts of a nonviolent nature. They didn't seek revenge or unshaming but put it down to experience. This new craze is a facet of woke culture.

For mine the jury was, I believe, sabotaged from within and hardly a first for trial by jury on untestable he said she said, "evidence".

It's long past time that UNBEATABLE space age lie detection that we have now, was covertly deployed to test the veracity of witness statements.

Without which, the innocent/verballed will continue to go to jail. And the serial guilty will yet again go free, with only their victims serving life sentences!
