In a court of law, 40+ witnesses all telling the same story IS evidence. It's not DNA or go home. 40+ witnesses is a homerun for the prosecution. She's not standing up for the rights of the accused, she's reinforcing rape culture.

Yes, it is evidence. No it is not a home run. Because we have this thing called "the defence".

The court of public opinion does not work on the adversarial system. It doesn't even really work on a inquisitorial system, because it has not obligation to meet any standards at all.

As individuals, we have the obligation to use our best judgment and reason to evaluate the situation.

And if my best judgment and reason tells me that Bill Cosby is almost certainly a rapist, I'm going to think that whether or not there's a statute of limitations that prevents him from being charged in a court of law.

I think any other position is, frankly, fucking ridiculous.

Absolutely!

And if your best judgement tells you you need more? You need to know all the proof was thoroughly resented, and thoroughly questioned, scrutinized and he had his best possible chance to defend himself before you can say with certainty one way or the other. This system you (and I) hold to so dearly should allow you to do that without the MASSIVE amount of shit that is being dumped on the woman above.
