OH MY GOD @JuliaHB1 - #chedevansvictim doesn't remember means she COULD NOT give consent!!!! That is the law!!!! No consent = rape #FACT

@JuliaHB1 Is that not because she opted to go home with McDonald- Evans turned up uninvited (by her) and took advantage of very drunk girl -
@Beth_Collett she went to a hotel room with McDonald. So you're saying by going to the room, she couldn't then say no to McDonald?!!! -
@JuliaHB1 Absolutely, categorically not! (hence why I think too drunk to consent) I just think that's why jury differentiated in decisions. -
@Beth_Collett I think they were all drunk, all sleazy and the whole thing was a mess, but there is nothing to suggest a rape took place. -
@JuliaHB1 Too many of my friends have been victims of rape: too few get justice. Innocent until proven guilty, but need more prosecutions -
@Beth_Collett I wonder if what they call "rape" is what I would also call rape. I don't just mean knife wielding stranger in alley scenario -
@JuliaHB1 I'm sure it is- un-consensual sexual intercourse. . . -
@Beth_Collett I fear we would have different ideas. Anyway, bed beckons! Nice chatting with you. - 2 more replies

@JuliaHB1 Agree drunken consent is consent, but think the consent for McDonald was assumed implicit by going home with, none given to Evans -
@Beth_Collett and how many times have anti-rape campaigners argued that just cos a woman gets into bed with a man, she can still say No? -
@JuliaHB1 Absolutely!!!I entirely support sentiment-(apologies if that wasn't clear)she could have said no at any point and is rape- so true

@JuliaHB1 To be perfectly honest, don't think she was in any fit state to consent to anything- I'd hope my friends/ brother would send home -
@Beth_Collett I don't think any of them were but if you watch the CCTV footage from the hotel lobby, she doesn't look very drunk at all -
@JuliaHB1 I think medical evidence cited in case (incl police tests from next day) and witnesses saying she was v drunk are counter to that -
@Beth_Collett she was drunk but perfectly stable in high heels in hotel lobby CCTV, chatting to cab driver, and told police herself not so.
