Originally posted by kingmaker View PostSo 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 ?
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.

Let’s salute the LHW @WBCBoxing champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk. He made this shout out to Adonis Stevenson, after their brutal fight.

Originally posted by kingmaker View PostIf it gets to that point than this entire exercise is just a big signal the prosecutor is sending to the judge saying the investigators think this is what happened. All of it will be thrown out and all parties are aware of it. But the judge is human you can't expect him to not remember that this is a likely scenario.
Supposing the jury is contaminated and, as a result, **** the suspect, a visit to the Court of Appeals wouldn’t be a bad idea.

People just don’t have the intelligence to comprehend it.
I’ve spoken to victims of similiar but lesser crimes and they are damaged beyond repair for life.

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).
