ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 year agoCharges dropped by district attorney due to the case not having enough compelling evidence to secure a conviction. Not exactly cleared, the prosecutor just didn’t think they could secure a conviction.

That’s not how it works…
In the course of all this, a lot of other shit came out that’s more than enough for him to lose his jobs over.
stappern@lemmy.one 1 year ago
well it is actually, you know innocent until proven guilty.

Legally
But not being proven guilty doesn’t mean someone was proven innocent, especially if a trial never happened.
Hell, OJ beat a trial, do you think that proved he didn’t kill his wife?

Just because he was not proven guilty doesn’t mean everyone is legally required to just ignore all the very real evidence that was released of him being an actual internet predator/pedophile. Generally companies tend to shy away from being associated with that sort of thing.

In a court of law yes. A show casting is not a court of law. Its a court of public opinion.
