I'll repeat this again because the misinformation about Carter Hart around this trial is both appalling and slanderous.

Lots to hate about the Vegas franchise. But giving a second chance to Carter Hart isn't one of them.

The judge in the case didn't just find no guilt, she exonerated the accused, finding as a matter of fact there was no sexual assault, that the sex was consensual. If you're curious to know the facts of the Hart and his Hockey Canada teammates case, here is summary of the 11 key findings of fact in judge Maria Carroccia's ruling:

1. That Carroccia found the complainant, E.M., to be both unreliable and not credible in her testimony about the events of the night in question, June. 18, 2018 in London, Ontario. More than that, Carroccia found that E.M. had given her consent to the sex acts with the men that night. The Hockey Canada Five were always presumed innocent until found guilty under our system, but Carroccia’s finding does more than find them not guilty. It essentially exonerates them, though we will all likely agree that they acted in poor and immature fashion that night and needed to do more to treat E.M. with care.

2. The judge also found that the notion “believe all women” is a political slogan, but goes against fundamental Canadian values that work to ensure that no innocent person is found guilty without a fair trial.

3. That key video evidence from Jack’s Bar where E.M. met Michael McLeod and other Hockey Canada players that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. said about the players initiating overt sexual contact on the dance flooor, and that E.M., in fact, put her hand on McLeod’s crotch area on the dance floor.
4. That key video evidence from the bar that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. claimed about getting plied with drinks from the players. In fact, E.M. bought almost all of her own drinks.
5. That key video evidence contradicts what E.M. claimed about the players trying to separate her from her friends.

6. That key video evidence and E.M’s own testimony contradicts her claim that she was completely out of it that night due to alcohol consumption.

7. That E.M. had reasons to fabricate a false narrative based on numerous factors, including making things right with her own boyfriend.

8. There was repeated and consistent testimony, including from Crown witnesses Tyler Steenbergen and Brett Howden, that E.M. pushed for the players to engage with sex acts with her, and in the end Carroccia accepted this evidence as fact.

9. That there was numerous evidence of E.M.’s testimony been unreliable.

10. That E.M. had several opportunities to get dressed and to leave if she was fearful, but she left the bathroom where her clothes were and walked naked into the room full of players to continue on with their evening. This dynamic started after she had admittedly had consensual sex with McLeod.

11. That the players group chat the following day was not an effort to fabricate a story, but a group decision to simply tell the truth about what had happened with E.M

@WhiskeyNick95 Wrong. Fully exonerated and the judge ruled consent was given.

Hockey Canada trial verdict:
Victory for justice. Those young men used very poor judgment. They did not commit crimes.

It's also an exposure of the reality of a culture that calls "victim" rather than face the hard truth that some young women act with predatorial actions.

BREAKING:
Ontario Justice Maria Carroccia says the complainant’s evidence in the Hockey Canada trial was “not credible or reliable.”
The Crown failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Acquittals for all 5 players expected.

[Nikolas Lust @Nik_Lust]

The Hockey Canada World Junior trial has concluded. All men were found not guilty. The decision by Justice Caraccio is a staunch reminder that allegations are just that, allegations. The complainant was both uncredible and unreliable.

Wild how William Nylander ended up becoming a better goalscorer than Auston Matthews and a better Torontonian than Mitch Marner
