I never understood why they published that video. Publishing it was morally repulsive, mean and I just cannot imagine that the video was “sexy” in any way. I think you are on to something; people watched that video in order to mock the persons in it. Why else?

I wanted to star this again. The idea that women are “better”than men (i.e. morally superior; he’s not saying they are faster, stronger or smarter) is this/close to the idea that is is the job of women and girls to civilize boys and men.

My quote is from the California legal code and it does refer to Temporary Restraining Orders. Of course, if only one party has a lawyer in court then it is pretty easy for that party to have the “preponderance” (or majority) of evidence on their side and it would appear from your description that you did not have…

Where is the evidence that she had no bruises after the incident? That photograph with her hair in front of her face?

I don’t think it is plausible or probable that she is making this up. It is of course possible that she is making this up. The best piece of evidence that we have access to is obviously the bruises on her face. Where did they come from? Here are the possibilities:

Could you please supply a document for the physical abuse? I was an adult in the 80's and this isn’r ringing any bells and a quick google turned up a lot of partying and trashed hotel rooms but no domestic violence.

I am glad to hear she was an “it” girl. I never heard of her until she started dating Gilbert Grape but I don’t go to the movies much anymore.

Thank you (really!) for doing this simple logic-problem for all the dumb-asses who will follow TMZ’s lead.

I don’t think “a few weeks” would improve the optics.

Well, people say this campaign add helped Margaret:

Stop drinking/drugging when you post. You sound like a fool.

This is the same article you’ve posted before. I am trying very hard to believe in your sincerity. Insufficient evidence does not mean that no crime occurred. It means the police do not believe they have enough evidence to convince a jury that a crime occurred. I mean, she waited years to accuse him of raping her so…

Put down the bong and proofread Mr. robot. “So far, all you have are claims are justifications.” What does this even mean? I don’t need a link. The links YOU have posted prove you wrong. I guess robots don’t sleep?

LOL “While the arrests cast a new light on Ms. Kwon’s allegations, the Las Vegas police said it will independently continue to investigate her claim that Mr. Angélil assaulted her.”

Perhaps it was in relation to the extortion. THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WAS IN RELATION TO THE RAPE. Again, we are going in circles here. You are sure she is guilty of extortion, even though she was exonerated on appeal. You are also sure that guilty of extortion means guilty of lying about rape. But the two charges are…

Again, you assume you know why they bribed the witness. But you do NOT know why they bribed the witness. We are going in circles here. Do you not know that you are replying to the same person over and over again? Do you not read my posts before replying? Are you a robot?

It’s not. You’re making it up. Nice try. Thanks for playing.

Link?

Wow your reading comprehension is among the worst I’ve ever seen (and I worked with children). “Furthermore” in the sentence you quoted means “and.” So (again!) there is no connection between the rape charge and the extortion charge. Just because she threaten to expose him for raping her DOES NOT mean he did not rape…

Wrong again. The article does not say that lack of evidence for rape LED TO the extortion charge. You just made that up. Also, lack of evidence does not mean it did not happen.
