[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 446104, member: 5055"] The majority of rape cases come down to he said/she said testimony. Life isn't and episode of Law & Order SVU. There's typically not DNA sprayed everywhere and in cases where the parties are known to one another, there's always a defense that the act was consensual. Rape cases are often decided by whether or not the jury finds the accuser or the accused to be more credible. For me, a lot of the talk or Brand being railroaded is just as conspiratorial as the talk that it was some sort of coordinated hit job. People are twisting themselves in knots to claim he was targeted because he is a conservative or because he is weird. Maybe, just maybe, he was targeted because he's a predator. This isn't the first time a celebrity was convicted based mostly on the testimony of women who came forward years after the assault. Is R Kelly innocent? Diddy? Weinstein? Cosby (and yes, I know his conviction was overturned)? Like with Brand, the official allegations and investigations came years after the fact - but there were always rumors and it was like an open secret. Brand has been called a predator as far back as the early 2000s when he was working for MTV. Like I said, in this case, it's just a duck - yes a weird duck, a conservative duck, but still a duck.
