So going back to my original point which you don't agree with. In these types of cases , the investigator will interview the plaintiffs, they need evidence to build a strong case. They have strong proof of prostitution and physical assault, they suspect that sexual assault could be added to the charges.

They need at least 2 of the plaintiffs, one who is the victim and an other to corroborate. Now when investigators are inquiring how hard can they probe this ? Isn't it a given that they would not ask only once but use multiple phrasing trying to get the answer they are after.

Being that at least one of the plaintiff is cooperating as she as put all this in motion (Let's say she claims Stevenson ****d her), they only need to convince one of 3 to confirm their theory. (Assuming that Stevenson has in fact committed **** and that it can be corroborated) How likely do you think it is that professional interrogator would convince one out of 3 young women to come forward on this if they already agreed to come forward with the two other charges ?

So if they are not capable of providing that to the prosecutor they won't even bother with the testimony of the ****d plaintiff ? The judge will not be made aware of the claim and it will definitely not cloud his judgement when sentencing for the 2 other charges.

Stevenson pleaded no contest, if i understand correctly, would it be common practice to drop the strongest charge (assuming they made the case and have a corroborating witness) in exchange for said no contest plea when the rest of the case is a sure winner ?

I’m not familiar with Canada Laws, but almost all criminal procedures in the US are trials by jury, where the judge plays the role of instructor of said jury. Other than that, his role is limited to admit or suppress the evidence presented.

Like most of the issues presented in law, it really depends. For example, if he was a first time offender, a nolo contendere plea would possibly be offered to the suspect. However, sexual violence is ordinarily not taken down in plea offers, as it’s in the State’s best interests to have said person listed on the sex offender’s list.

However, if the prosecutors meet with the defense team and present testimonies as the only evidence backing those charges, pleading guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) may not be the smartest move. You could easily mine the testimony of **********s and, considering the prosecution doesn’t have anything else on you, why accept a plea when you can get the charges dismissed?

Another important thing to note is jurisdiction (supposing it were in the US). If it’s a Federal case, a plea bargain is the way to go in literally over 99% of the cases. If it’s a State case, it’d depend on what State, etc. The Feds don’t mess around. Taking my jurisdiction as an example (Puerto Rico): last year, 100% (literal figure, not hyperbole) of the federal cases were decided by plea bargains or guilt sentencings.

Fk this pos

this POS still alive??
they should let one of his victims unplug his ass

[The Big Dunn]

Reading that article I can't agree man. To do that **** you have to have real evil inside you. He has likely destroyed those girls lives forever. I definately wouldn't forgive him.

OK, I can respect that. He did what he did as a teenager. Once he went to prison, he hasn't repeated those behaviors and has lived the type an exemplary life as an adult.

[Uncle Rodge]

Father time needs to have a long hard look at himself over this shit.

Karma comes for all, better hope it doesn't come for you.

Wtf? Why would it come for me you ****? I'm not the loser celebrating life changing brain injuries to another person. That's low, anyone who does that shouldn't even be talking about karma.

[strykr619]

He’ll never pay his debt, this POS has lived a privileged life whilst he brutally destroyed the lives of innocent victims.

“Paid his debt” GTFOH

Utter nonsense. Can't believe I'm defending him but if he doesn't deserve a 2nd chance THEN NO ONE THAT EVER GOES TO PRISON DOES.

You can't pick and choose but hey you must me be a model citizen who has NEVER broken any laws (don't say you are because their are enough laws on the books that anything we do in life can be made into a crime because of the plethora of Fed Criminal statues that are on the books).

[strykr619]

In that case karma will come for you for celebrating somebody suffering life changing injuries.

Karma comes for all, better hope it doesn't come for you.

I don't really want to get into this pointless argument, but I have to point out that threatening to do something, and actually doing it, are two completely different things, and are classed as such under the law.
Threats are an intimidation tactic, and can be a criminal offence, but in no way does it mean that the person had any intention of actually following through on the threats.
Have you never been in a fight, argument or stand off? All kind of threats get made, it doesn't mean any of them are actually going to happen.

Sorry but [deleted by me] response. Almost unbelievable.
We're talking about someone who with up to 3 others brutally beat these girls for days.

[apollocreed]

You have to be kidding. If you read, then you would know he was charged with making those threats. You think threatening to stick a knife in someone's anus is itself not a crime? Or that because he didn't end up doing it, it's OK? Sorry to inform you but that threat is still a crime, and a horrible one.
