See below about skepticism as individuals and society.
Allred and the accusers made public statements, not court filings. Those aren't privileged; sue the hell out of them. As to the jail time, we don't do debtor's prison in this country, and for good reason.
And that's up to us as individuals and as a society. We need to learn to be more skeptical. That said, the nothing "that could be presented in a court of law" would be true even if there were multiple-angle, high-def video, as the statute of limitations has long since run. The case would have been thrown out on motion days after papers were served.
The public statements(with no basis in fact) have caused politicians, entertainers, and people in private business to lose their jobs, and their livelihood by the very nature of the accusation without proof of the crimes or company policy they are accused of.
False accusations happen every day. That is why I presented the scenario of the person accusing their supervisor of homosexual harassment to get them fired, and you have not addressed that.
If you think we don't have debtor's prison, you haven't looked at the people that can't post bail. They languish in city, county, state prisons/jails month after month, year after year until the prosecutor takes them to court and then only continues the case to get money for the city/state/county in continuances and line the pockets of public defenders that never see the person they are supposed to represent until the day they go to trial in the lobby of the courtroom. If the county/city doesn't have the money to keep them anymore or needs room for more serious offenders, they let out the less serious on OR after months of big time bail requirements.
Trust me, I'm not unfamiliar with this bullshat.
We have a Nephew unjustly accused of child abuse that we have been fighting through the court system for many years. His parents are dead, he has nobody but us. Totally a she said child abuse that never happened, and I can prove why.
The fawking DHS can suck my dodie like an ice cream sodie.
Enough said. I know how this fawked up system works.
Another buddy has a worthless grandson that had had over 20 continuances and he has still not appeared in Kay County Court to be sentenced for over two years. Minor Drug offenses. They keep sucking the $30 a month from him on court fees, and he can't get a job because they won't take him to court to finish the accusations against him.
Hell, he is ready to go to jail because he might get three squares and a bunk. He hasn't had that in a couple of year now.
The court system sucks the big one. It's all about the money, city and county anyway.
