Each defendant had different claims to defend and as witnesses for each other wouldn't have complete knowledge of what each other had said. Might they not be the ones tripping themselves up then ? No ?

Also, MidlandsApple15 I hope you have a stack of consent forms, a nice quill pen and a few witnesses in your room should I ever be lucky enough to find myself back there.

I said victims react in rape cases/sexual assaults with what is known as tonic immobilisation...which is how their bodies react to what they perceive to be a dangerous situation.... I can see you are having problems with it...I know it can't be easy for you...

Shelga wrote: All these rabid imbeciles are going to achieve is anonymity being granted to rape case defendants. How can they not see that? They are building a perfect case for it. They are not achieving anything else whatsoever. I’m glad they’ve brought my attention to this, because it’s something I, as a woman, would now wholeheartedly support.

I can't help you with this at all I'm afraid....I can't even understand how you are struggling with it... How can it be a dangerous situation then, dangerous enough for you to freeze? The 'body' would have to percieve a threat. Not sure you have thought this through in the effort to throw out another buzz word - 'tonic immobilisation'.

It was read out on either prime time or the Pat Kenny show when someone read from the transcript of the court. In her statement to police she said she heard aggressive moaning and was 100 percent sure she saw Paddy Jackson having sex. In court she called them sexual noises. She said she heard moaning, was asked if this was sensual moaning and replied no. She then offered that it was an aggressive male moaning and later in court said it sounded like sex. Why would go forth and open the door if she thought the sound was just her friend having sex? Her behaviour is much more easily reconciled with her first version of events to police Perhaps you should take your own advice on making things up just to fill in the blanks.

All reasonable people should be supporting anonymity for defendants in cases such as this, and I would argue that this anonymity should hold even if the complainant waives their right to same, until a guilty verdict is reached.

You are a right charmer you are!! *Those who do report a rape, are subjected to a very invasive body exam, very often miles away from home. You are right, we should just accept the accusations without obtaining any evidence from the alleged victim. Lock up those men!
