OH MY GOD @JuliaHB1 - #chedevansvictim doesn't remember means she COULD NOT give consent!!!! That is the law!!!! No consent = rape #FACT
@Beth_Collett remember, she didn't tell police she had been raped or even that she thought she'd been raped. Reported bag stolen!

@JuliaHB1 Medical evidence shows total amnesia- she probably didn't even realise anything had happened for hours and hours (very common) -
@Beth_Collett but no date rape drugs and not enough alcohol in her system to explain the memory loss. Questioned in court. -
@JuliaHB1 Questioned but ultimately accepted (incl in appeal) Also transcript v interesting in terms of grounds of appeal -
@Beth_Collett no, appeal only looked at whether there was signif new evidence. there wasn't so it failed. Juries don't always get it right. -
@JuliaHB1 Of course-but also they do get more right than media most times (no offence!) - think overall dcsn should come from justice system -
@Beth_Collett indivs or media questioning verdicts doesn't undermine justice, it strengthens it. That's what we have appeal system. -
@JuliaHB1 I completely agree- but also don't think fair to have trial by media before through court

@JuliaHB1 I just think consent needs to be analysed more carefully in English law/ society-there is point at which too drunk to give consent -
@Beth_Collett I agree on that but there is no evidence she was raped. Only evidence that they had sex at all is HIS testimony! -
@JuliaHB1 I thought was medical evidence she had had intercourse with both? Either way- don't think that is in question (given he admits) - End of conversation
