Clint Rickards

[The Stranger:Me]

Yes it does...

Besides, she was a whore that couldn't keep her legs closed and got what she asked for... trying to misconstrue the facts decades after the events just makes her the worst kind of slut.

Apparently rikard was found innocent (according to some). I thought he was found not guilty. I understood the test the jury applied was beyond reasonable doubt. Were the jury asked to decide his innocence?
He is presumed innocent until proven guilty, not guaranteed innocent by a decision of not guilty.

I regularly speed, in fact I did so tonight on the ATNR.
I didn't get caught, or convicted, so am I innocent or guilty of speeding on tonights ATNR?

Finding him not guilty doesn't mean he isn't guilty of committing the crime in question, it may well mean only that the prosecution failed to prove their case adequately.
A court does not guarantee that the truth will be found. Evidence may be lost, burried, concealed or simply unavailable or undiscovered. Does it follow that a person automatically innocent in such circumstances?

Should he be held accountable in any way for the actions he was found not guilty of? That is a different question and not one which I am arguing. In the eyes of the law, he must be treated as if he were innocent, however to say simply that he was found not guilty by a court therefore he is innocent is naive in the extreme.

Besides, with $300K in his back pocket he hardly needs to go into big money lawyering...

He'll have to pay income tax on that $300k. That will drop make $100k of it disappear.

By the sounds of the news this morning he'll have a new job next week with Waipareara Trust. It will be interesting to see if he can use his undoubted skills to help young fellas who are going off the rails or if he'll just end up getting some bad little shits off some nasty charges.

He's pondscum, Pete!.....

Somehow that just seems all wrong...whatever happened years ago will never be fully known...but to now be able to go and defend others in a court of law doesn't seem right.

Though in all fairness why shouldn't he have a new career seeing the other went down the toilet.

Bullshit! He has no respect for the pussy!

It went down the toilet because he hangs with rapists, and abused his position as a police officer in many ways. He also showed his true colours when he came out of court spitting vile insults towards LW and doing his best to make her look bad. In my opinion he should be locked up with some of the nastier guys he put away in his day.

I wasn't there and I am in no position to judge another....if it is to be believed that there is a God then clint rickards and his ilk will met their maker and be judged accordingly.

There are many 'bad' people in the world and some do change..who's to say this man hasn't, do you know him personally???

He may well do some good in this new career, maybe this is his way of giving something back and changing who he is and making some atonement for the crap he may have dished out!!!

All are worthy of forgiveness...all are worthy of the chance to change.

I don't hang out with people of his 'ilk' as you put it. All of my mates treat women like the gorgeous creatures they are. They respect them and love them. So do I.

Have you ever wondered why old sayings came about? Ones like leopards and spots etc? Have you noticed it's near on impossible to rehabilitate a peodophile? Do you think a guy that has such a low opinion of women is ever gonna see them differently?

Thats the problem I have with this whole situation.

One of the requirements to be admitted to the bar is that you "Are a fit and proper person" to be admitted. WTF ?
