The burden of proof being on the prosecution, the concept of innocent until proven guilty, and the threshold of beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal trials are all the same in the UK as they are in the US. You might be thinking of civil defamation law, which is indeed quite different in the UK than it is in the US,…

Oh calm the fuck down, sister. Nearly all the posts here are expressing disgust and outrage, sympathy for the dead girl, etc. A few are saying the dude is innocent until proven guilty (true from a legal standpoint) and hoping he gets a fair day in court (who wouldn’t want that?) Who the hell is reflexively coming to…

What’s the big deal? The university suspended him, it didn’t expel him. That’s par for the course when serious criminal charges are involved but a conviction hasn’t been obtained.

A female fellow engineering student, charged with being an accessory after the fact and helping him to dispose of the girl’s body. Yowza. The plot thickens.

Who the fuck let Deepak Chopra in here?

You mean where that chick was gang raped on a broken glass table in a frat house?

It’s not often one hears Richmond and Norfolk described as glamorous. LOL

That’s a reasonable possibility. He’d be a statutory rapist but not necessarily a kidnapper and murderer. We’ll see how it plays out.

Dude, chill, no one here is an investigator or juror in this case. This is a gossip site.

They met up and things happened.

Dude shark rudely bumps into lady shark who was minding her own business.

My mom got refused service at a bar once completely sober for walking into a jukebox and instinctively apologizing to it.

It’s HUMOR, ffs. Get a life (unless you’re satirizing touchy dudebros who’d be all pissy about this, in which case, great Poe’s.)

Yeah, that’s an obnoxious level of manspreading, though in his (partial) defense, at least he was polite enough to discreetly cover his junk.

I think the article was a terrible idea for multiple reasons, but it didn’t mock victims of domestic violence.

MRAs try to invent an international holiday honoring Marc Lepine for his valiant heroism in murdering 14 women and wounding another 10 (along with four men) because of his all-encompassing hatred for women?

Good for her! What a great way to put those harassing, creepy assholes in their place! And it’s obviously having an effect, given that the frequency has dropped off since she started doing this.

That’s pretty heartless. How is Flint supposed to adapt, at this point in time? Conversely, if it is allowed to die, where are the tens of thousands of poor residents supposed to go, and what are they supposed to do?

Ugh, uncalled for. ALL the people of Flint, no matter their race, color, or ethnicity, are victims deserving of sympathy in this situation.

So the sins of the father should be visited upon his children, who had nothing to do with the situation? Methinks your ethical code is a bit out of whack.
