It seems that people think that if you get drunk and run someone over-you are guilty of a crime however if you get drunk and say something that gives consent to sex -you have a free pass. I give great credit to this lady for admitting to the judge that she can not recall whether she gave consent or not. The taxi driver is a sleaze ball and maybe a criminal-but the judge was 100% correct this go around.
Society being incensed does not change the law -the guy needs to be PROVEN to be guilty-or else we are all at risk of false accusations.
