Clint Rickards

[imdying]

Because he was aquitted does NOT mean he's innocent!

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.

[McJim]

After what he allegedly did with a truncheon imagine what he could allegedly do with a bar

[Goblin]

Yes it does...

So if your daughter or neice or someone close to you was raped you'd call her a dirty whore who ask for it?
You're a winner alright.

Of course not... But she wasn't raped. She said she was, it was investigated, and a court said she wasn't.

[Goblin]

It was never investigated. It was covered up! Next youll be telling us the other women who got the other rapists locked up werent raped either.

I hope I never meet you irl for fear of puking all over you. But you'd probably enjoy that.

I was a Jury a few years, Class B drug case in Rotorua, we all knew this guy was a dealer but, they (the prosecution) couldn't convince us. Photos taken during the bust showed Snaplok Bags/small brown envelopes/scales/a few thousand dollars in cash and we let him go.

Oh he was a dealer, to two ways, but we were instructed by the Judge that, we were to reach a verdict based on the eveidence put towards us, that He was dealing at the time of arrest. They couldn't prove that.

Keep that tinfoil hat on tight

The only sensible decision that could be made. Hands up who would like stuff they did when they were 20 brought up at a job interview 25 years later?

Yep but it's the honourable copper who has to bear the brunt of it. It was pretty shady the whole episode.

Winston wasn't guilty of anything, but the public have said otherwise.

[jrandom]

Yes...justice is an ass! Do you actually believe he didnt do it?

Define 'it'. I'm sure Mr Rickards did in fact have sex with the female(s) in question. But did a doctor examine them shortly after the fact and find evidence of injury? Were there any witnesses to anything indicating that it was not simply a consensual act?

So if your daughter or neice or someone close to you was raped you'd call her a dirty whore who ask for it?

I very much doubt that any daughter of imdying's would be brought up to be the kind of young woman who associated with (and had sex with, and regretted it two decades later, etc) that group of Rotorua police officers.

Sorry, I know it's hard for women who really have been raped to face the subject objectively, but the fact is, there does need to be a minimum standard of evidence. You can't just have sex with someone, wait twenty years, claim that it was non-consensual, and then expect them to be convicted of rape.

The Law Society made the right call. The man was not convicted of a crime. And if people don't like Mr Rickards once he's admitted to the bar, y'know, nobody's going to force them to engage his services.

Neither was Louise!!!

FFS! She was 13 years old when she was first raped by a police officer. That was covered up! She was groomed by rikards and his mates and repeatedly raped. That was not consensual. She didnt bring it up 2 decades later, she'd been fighting to have her case heard for decades.

The law society made the wrong choice here. The really sad part is that there are people out there who will pay for his services and believe he is an honourable person. The creep doesnt even deserve to be called a man.

All the bloody witnesses were bent cops who were just as guilty of rape! Covered it up by saying it was consensual.

[jrandom]

Well, er... history kind of says otherwise, doesn't it? Where were her parents when all this was going on:

She was 13 years old when she was first raped by a police officer. That was covered up! She was groomed by rikards and his mates and repeatedly raped. That was not consensual.

That is, of course, if 'it' was in fact 'going on'.

You make these statements as though they're facts, but they're based on her word, with no other supporting evidence.

And, well, that's the point, really. No reason why you can't form whatever opinion you like based on what Ms Nicholas says, but the law requires something beyond uncorroborated hearsay if someone is to be convicted of a crime.

[jrandom]

Let me guess; you also think that the CIA blew up the World Trade Center?

Evidence is evidence, and regardless of how loudly and charmingly Ms Nicholas rants and raves, there was a complete lack of any in this instance to indicate that any laws were broken.

[Maha]

Let me guess; you also think that the CIA blew up the World Trade Center?

No, a plane or two flew into them, maybe a CIA agent was flying one of then though....
If an agent was flying one of the planes and survived, I would have found him not guily.....Pilot era!

I do indeed believe her word.
You think people like to make this shit up for a laugh??
But just the sort of comments I'd expect to hear from someone who thinks Madonna is hot.
