He hasn’t admitted his crime, or apologised, or spoken up about the blurred lines of consent. In sum, he hasn’t shown any public signs of rehabilitation
Now if anyone thinks this scumbag should be given a second chance at this time then they are in same moral league as the scumbag himself.
He raped a young lady who was too intoxicated to defend herself. That is simply unforgiveable.
The bastard should have been locked away for 10 years and made to serve his full time. He should have been forced to do rehabilitation and make a formal apology to the lady and not released until he had done so.
He has in no way paid for his crime and so should not be given a second chance........
hes try to get the conviction overturned. You cant apologize for something and then try to make it written that it didnt happen.
Lets say if you robbed a bank. You get convicted. You try to appeal and then say you are sorry and then say well i can i still get the conviction quashed even though i admitted it.
This trial is like a game of high stakes poker where how you play your hand is vital.
evans could either have apologized or done the appeal route. he chose the latter. lets see how it plays out
