I can’t judge motives. I could postulate that a civil case is stronger if a conviction precedes it. At the end of the day, there wasn’t enough evidence to convict so we cannot leap to a guilty verdict absent a criminal conviction. It sucks if she’s a true victim but justice isn’t served by collective speculation.
Conor McGregor has headlined 8 of the top 10 highest-selling pay-per-view (PPV) events in UFC history. His events generally average \(1.5\) to \(2.4\) million buys. In contrast, usual, non-McGregor UFC PPV events historically average around \(300,000\) to \(600,000\) buys, meaning he brings in \(3\) to \(6\) times the typical UFC audience. These are facts that cannot be denied.
@Leftwingbadges@Ninadrama Like me and many others, I’m sure Nina would not overlook a criminal conviction but a civil suit against a rich man is not the same. There’s simply no way for us to know what really happened and he still claims innocence. No one is trying to diminish any victims here.
@ReichlinMelnick What would your opinion be as a legal expert? What agenda do you bring to the table? Would you endorse Biden-era immigration policies? If yes, then I’d rather hear from her any day.
Google AI on E Jean Carroll civil trial: “While legally possible for a criminal conviction to rest on testimony alone, it is highly improbable that this specific combination of evidence would have resulted in a guilty verdict in a criminal trial. Legally, a witness’s credible testimony is sufficient to convict someone without any physical forensic evidence like DNA or video surveillance. However, importing the exact same evidence from Donald Trump's civil trial into a criminal courtroom would face two insurmountable barriers: a drastically higher standard of proof, and stricter rules regarding what evidence a jury is allowed to see.”
