Comments by "" (@pwillis1589) on "Lehrmann rape trial being dropped means the case will be 'unresolved forever'" video.

What a ridiculous concept. That every person not convicted in a criminal court be allowed to sue the witnesses. This comment would have to be the second most ludicrous thing I have read all week.

@gregmatthies8128 No you misunderstand the Australian legal system. The fist trial was aborted by the Judge due to the inappropriate actions of a juror. The defendant was most definitely not found to be innocent. In a criminal trial a defendant is found to be guilty or not guilty. The defendant is never found to be innocent. Do some reading and research. Your comment is factually incorrect.

@williamwoods3156 Yes I totally agree deliberately giving false evidence in a court of law opens up a person to contempt of court charges. Inconsistencies in someone's testimony is a different matter.

What evidence do you have it was a false claim?

@simonharris4873 Just a typical bigoted nonsensical comment. There are hundreds of reasons why txt are deleted from phones. I agree it is not a good look but your clear bias only shows I hope you never serve on a jury.

@simonharris4873 Not quite an Ad hominem more just straight out abuse, but it is a fair cop. Doesn't mean my point isn't still valid. There could be a thousand reasons why I wouldn't want someone to read my text messages.

@wespaul9345 I’m sorry I didn’t realise you were on the jury.

@wespaul9345 I haven’t got a clue what you are on about, I have presented no opinion on Lehrmanns guilt. We will never know what the jury may have decided as the trial was aborted. Making mistakes or giving contrary evidence is not lying or giving false evidence and it is not criminal. I mean this is just law 101. People remember things differently and the added stress of a courtroom doesn’t make it easier. We can only wonder what inconsistencies the prosecution may have found in Mr Lehrmanns testimony if he had chosen to give any. Lehrmann is a free man as he should be and I would never let him anywhere near my family.

The incels are out tonight and commenting left right and centre.

@Phonehomefool chalk one up.

@gregmatthies8128 Your comment wouldn’t even make the remotest of sense even if the discussion was about politics. This is just a straight legal case and your comment is just vacuous nonsensical gibberish.
1
@gregmatthies8128 More nonsensical rubbish. You present no actual substance to the discussion just mindless childish comments.

@JavaAndroid Firstly sexual assault is a criminal offence and requires evidence. If you vexatiously or just make up an allegation of sexual assault/rape then it is you who have committed a crime and then the criminal justice system will come after you. I walk free and happy, you on the other hand are publicly shamed as a known liar and go to gaol for contempt of court.

@williamwoods3156 Deleting a txt message is not destroying evidence as it was not evidence in the first place. If after submitting the phone to police and being submitted to the court as evidence then it is evidence tampering, but that didn’t happen. There are so many bush lawyers commenting here without the slightest clue. How many txt do you delete in a day from your phone? Think about it first before making a clearly ludicrous claim. I fully agree it was not a good look and the defence attorney played it up for all it was worth, and good on him that’s his job. Next issue, not remembering exact details is not lying or giving false evidence again a ridiculous claim by you, it is however as before not a good look and clearly weakens her case and again rightly so, but you idiotic claims of lying and false testimony have come straight out of your arse.
1
@JavaAndroid No you just made up a ludicrously stupid hypothetical and I smashed it full of holes. Have you anything of fact to say or comment on or just your mindless opinion.

@williamwoods3156 OMG it is common public knowledge that persons after be sexually assaulted quite often have feeling of being dirty and take repeated showers and wash their clothes. It is why collecting DNA evidence is always problematic in cases of rape. I have on repeated occasions now explained this doesn’t in any way prove Ms Higgins was lying or giving false evidence it only shows she is fallible. The defence attorney did a good job in highlighting these inconsistencies. We will never know what verdict the jury may of come up with as the trial was aborted. Bruce Lehrmann is now a free man to continue his life. Would I let him anywhere near my family, not on my life.
1
@williamwoods3156 Yes the pulling your head out of your arse was an unnecessary excessively harsh comment on my behalf. The behaviour of sexual assault victims is well documented and I refer you to the latest ABS data as well as "Understanding PTSD after sexual assault" Matthew Tull, PhD. Also read "Sexual assault in Australia" AIHW. I have no idea what you are talking about with the behaviour of murderers who generally lack empathy or remorse so your analogy has been taken from your rectum with little thought. More than disapproval I wouldn't let him anywhere near any member of my family and if you had any idea of the statistics regarding the false allegations and under reporting of sexual assault in Australia you would understand this, but you don't. You wish to remain blissfully ignorant of the real world and the increasing rates of sexual violence in this country. I suggest this is for you a political issue and not a real world concern.

@julaingallimore7152 Yes the incels are out in force.

@williamwoods3156 Anecdotal evidence is virtually always fallacious in argumentation. Your personal circumstances and mine are irrelevant to the discussion. Just stick to the facts as publicly available. I don’t give a rats arse how many kids you have helped of the street you have no evidence of such. There is however an overwhelming body of evidence, data, and documentation that shows a very very small percentage of people make up false sexual assault allegations. This is a fact. Nobody should go to gaol on a statistic and each individual case needs to be put to a jury. If you even had the remotest clue you would know the conviction rates are incredibly low in sexual assault cases, generally because it is a one persons word against another, which clearly isn’t enough to send someone to gaol for. I still don’t understand what you are not getting about this. Best leave it there.
1
@JavaAndroid Yes that is the law incels believe. It has no relationship with reality.
1
@clairecatchpool3489 He mostly definitely has the ability and right to sue.
1
Joshua Philosopher I don't think he'll see a cent. Higgins has declared she will testify at any defamation hearings that he raped her.
1
@thelonewolf666 You simply don't understand law and eyewitness testimony. You nonsensical rant is full of falsehoods and mindless opinion with a good dose of straight out misinformation.
1
The simple fact is that numerous studies from multiple countries put the false reporting of rape cases at less than 5%. There is no way I would allow any female I know anywhere near Lehrmann nor would I have anything to do with him. Does he deserve to be in gaol, obviously not.
1
@thor7219 The key word is potential, there was nothing inaccurate in any the the stats presented. A convenient little piece of data you left out is that an estimated 50 to 70% of sexual assaults are not reported. I ignore no facts but you have clearly attempted to falsely manipulate data to suite your own agenda.
1
@thor7219 Yes it is has been conclusively proven that 98.3% of incels believe the women they rape asked for it. Studies have shown the sexual dysfunction displayed by incels is because their dicks are so tiny.
1
@thor7219 And there in lies the proof of my original statement.
1
@davexb6595 A most superb example of an argument from ignorance from you that is so easily debunked that my 8 year granddaughter could do it. Following is a list of studies and research articles of sexual violence committed against women. Personal Safety Survey, Australia 2005 Crime Victimisation Survey, Australia 2010-2011 Recorded Crime-Victims, Australia, 2011 There are three sources of information that you in your narcissistic self delusion could not even contemplate exsisting. You have been shown to be factually and demonstrably wrong.

What evidence do you have it was a false accusation?
1
@gregmatthies8128 On a secondary note the LNP had absolutely nothing to do or was involved in any way with the Higgins court proceedings.
1
@gregmatthies8128 No. I am not aware at all of any allegations of Linda Reynolds covering anything up. As I remember it there was a discussion with Ms Higgins about reporting the alleged rape and what support Ms Higgins required and Linda Reynolds and Ms Higgins recollections of this don’t exactly match up, but that’s all. I think you are being a little paranoid, of course this doesn’t mean I’m not out there trying to get you.
1
@gregmatthies8128 Once again there is nothing anti LNP in any comments here about the Higgins rape trial. It has absolutely nothing to do with the LNP in any way shape or form. Lehrmann was not found innocent, the jury was dismissed due to the inappropriate actions of one of the jurors. As has been correctly pointed out there were inconsistencies pointed out in some of Ms Higgins testimony by the defence, however this falls far short of alleged false evidence as suggested by some of the commentators here and we will never know what verdict the jury would have come up with. Lehrmann most certainly has not been convicted of anything. Would I ever let him anywhere near my wife, daughters, or granddaughters not on my life.
1
@paulweston285 Seems a reasonable statement.
1
@robharris6874 Nope factually wrong. A jury decides guilty or not guilty. It never decides on innocence. Lehermans first trial was aborted by the judge due to to juror misbehaviour. There was no finding on guilt, and we will never know what the jury may have decided. Get your facts straight. A subsequent trial will not take place, not because of lack of evidence or whatever idiotic reason you have dreamt up but because of the harm it may cause a key witness (Ms Higgins). Leherman is now allowed to move with his life as an innocent person. Would I let him anywhere near my wife, daughter, or granddaughters, not in a pink fit or on my life.
