Last page of the verdict - interesting, explains why there was reasonable doubt.

The Judge in his verdict, had this to say....
"My conclusion that the evidence in this case raises a reasonable doubt is not the same as deciding in any positive way that these events never happened. At the end of this trial, a reasonable doubt exists because it is impossible to determine, with any acceptable degree of certainty or comfort, what is true and what is false. The standard of proof in a criminal case requires sufficient clarity in the evidence to allow a confident acceptance of the essential facts. In these proceedings the bedrock foundation of the Crown’s case is tainted and incapable of supporting any clear determination of the truth.
I have no hesitation in concluding that the quality of the evidence in this case is incapable of displacing the presumption of innocence. The evidence fails to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
I find Mr. Ghomeshi not guilty on all of these charges and they will be noted as dismissed."

My understanding was that it was LD's private messages on Facebook. That's why it seemed shocking to me. That stuff is not public.Quote:

Sad day :(
Indeed for people that lie, make up stories, are scorned and let their emotions run amok i.e. become vindictive. This is just criminal law, imagine how much of this goes on in family law.
Again, every with half a brain is not doubting that JG acted in a BDSM way, but it's the actions of the women that derailed this case. Just like in the OJ murder case where cops planted gloves.

Stick a fork in him, he's done in Canada. I think he will have to go to the US or something to restart a career.Quote:

Errrrr...it doesn't bother you in the least that the women were out to get him because they felt jilted / ignored by him, and evidence shows that 2 of them were in communication talking about making him pay? I wonder what your tune will be if it was your husband, brother, uncle that fell prey to these type of women??????
It's obvious that this LD is so desperate for attention (probably due to daddy issues), that she even had the publication ban lifted so she could be the face of "sexual assault". She gave this interview below, and crying wolf about her tweet. Cry me a river LD, it's your won doing.
No man in his right mind will touch this woman if they know what is good for them

LD has been referred to as a stalker among other things....some truth to that considering the 5,000 messages and flowers she sent. I mean who in their right mind sends flowers to their attacker? Not even in the movies does this happen...feminist groups need to work on that first with their group
JG obviously did not consider her a stalker because he replied to her thousands of times over.Quote:

JG moved on, she didn't and came up with a plan to punish him, one that blew up on her face big time. Nothing like a woman scornedQuote:
