The post count is somewhat deceiving, most of my posts are 1 liners. Lithose with his 3,000 posts probably typed out way more compared to me.

Fair point.

As far as legality is concerned, I think this argument is quite over. It's pretty clear that a judge wants to see a severe level of intoxication to consider rape charges to be valid. It makes sense really. Having a sexual encounter is a deeply intimate and primal act that infringes on your personal space and safety. A person would have to be pretty fucking drunk to not be able to recognize the consequences of sex.

Agree 100%.

Well, I think that's because people are confused at what your viewpoint actually is. Either because of a failure to communicate your points effectively, or a shift in your opinion over the course of the argument.

For instance, I myself am quite sure that you were arguing at one point that any level of intoxication on the part of a supposed 'victim' could result in conviction of the accused. If this is not the case, and you were never arguing this, then I apologize. However, I would consider working on your communication skills if you wish to avoid these situations in the future.

No he has chameleon arguments where he cites vague theories and principles and when he gets called out and utterly defeated, he just says 'well actually, I meant that'.

OK,here's another one.

Girl gets wasted, sleeps with guy. Defense says that the girl was in love with the guy and wanted to sleep with him all along. Girl's friend posts on MySpace: "(victim) got fucked and dumped by (accused)". Circumstantial evidence shows that girl was too far drunk to give legal consent. Incidentally, everything she drank she drank of her own volition. The accused appeals, claiming he didn't know how drunk she was. Court refuses, on the grounds that the accused had referred to the victim as "wasted", implying he knew or should have known how drunk she was.

Again, we don't have actual proof that she said "yes". That's nearly impossible to get in any case. But it has been established that even if she did say "yes", it would not have counted because she was in no condition to give legal consent, through no fault but her own.

Can we call it a day yet? I got video games that need to be played.

Yeah, I did shift my opinion over a month ago.

Clarification here.

My apologies for the confusion.

But that's because she was 'wasted' (extremely intoxicated) and it could be shown that the accused actually knew about it. She hadn't just had a couple drinks, which is what you were claiming earlier if I understood correctly.

Edit: just read your above post. Thanks for clarification. Cheers.

First rape:
Feeling awkward and dizzy, she sat down on Evelyn's bed, where she resumed kissing minor, but when minor tried to reach for her breast and vagina, M. pushed his hand away three times. M. kept having to catch herself from falling over. She felt she did not know what she was doing and was starting to lose her memory.

Second rape:
She told him to stop and tried to fight him off, but she was too weak. He forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.

Go play video games, clearly you aren't cut out to making salient arguments.

Yeah, that's her side of the story. The other side of the story is that she was eager to sleep with the guy and was seen both on top of him and hugging him in bed (not signs of resistance). When it's words against words, we go by what can reasonably be proven, and EVERYONE'S words indicated she was too drunk to give legal consent, regardless of who's side of the story is true.

What, you think the guy was found guilty just because shesaidhe forced himself on her?

OK

Based on minor's statement to the police and testimony by both prosecution and defense witnesses, minor witnessed M. drinking heavily that evening.Minor was with M. in the small apartment when, feeling dizzy and awkward, M. had difficulty remaining conscious.M. appeared to be intoxicated. Minor told the police, and D. testified, that minor was not intoxicated; he knew what he was doing. Minor acknowledged he was aware M. was "wasted" when they went to the vacant apartment and had sex. The trial court could reasonably infer from these facts that minor knew or reasonably should have known that M. was intoxicated that night to the point she was unable to make a reasonable judgment about engaging in sexual intercourse with minor.

Thats kind of a weird case because he was appealing the rape in intoxication conviction but not the forcible rape conviction. Also note that his grounds for appeal "lack of evidence for conviction" almost NEVER works, the standard of review for the appeals courts will cast all favor for the trial courts fact finding, and only overturn them in the absolute worst of circumstances.

Didn't I ask you to keep minors out? Minor can't give consent the same way as adults. It is like you are a moron and can't read.
