minus-squareAlcoholicorn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 days agoNo innocent person has ever not wanted to go to court, due to the fear of miscarriage of justice or the perception of people like Knock_knock_Lemmy_in.
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-25 days agoAlso the fear of being found guilty. An innocent person in a civil case wants to clear their name. An out of court settlement cannot be claimed as a not guilty verdict.
minus-squareAlcoholicorn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days ago An innocent person in a civil case wants to clear their name. That’s pig logic. Innocent people get found guilty all the time, and even if you’re not, a long trial is expensive and never going to convince haters he’s innocent.
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days ago Innocent people get found guilty all the time Rich guilty people pay off their accusers all the time. A long trial is expensive, but it’s certainly less than the $50m (in today’s money) that MJ paid out. We don’t know what he was guilty of, but he sure ain’t innocent.
