Such accusations are not much more than useless noise
First I ask myself why did it take so long to come out with such claims, why wasn't it reported when it happened. Suspicious
Then I ask why make such an accusation without filing for criminal charges or a civil lawsuit. Suspicious
Unless it goes to court, such claims should be ignored. The accuser could get sued for defamation
I believe false accusations should be punished as equally as the supposed crime being alleged. That would decrease the amount of false claims
If it went to a criminal court I think there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict Joe Biden
Though there have been cases in recent times where guys have been convicted with not much more than the testimony of the accuser
If she was to file a civil lawsuit I think she would have a decent chance of winning given the evidence she claims to have and the way the civil courts are being run now
Do I think he's guilty...
Nope. I have serious reservations about allegations that come out after so many years. There is no excuse for reporting the incident when it happened
I also have serious reservations about claims that aren't legal matters
Do I think it might effect his chances of becoming president...
Yes. Unfortunately with this #metoo hysteria there are many people under the false belief that we must #believeallwomen and convict men just cos she says so
But we'll see what plays out anyway
Sounds rational, but I'm not buying the metoo hysteria, any more than I buy the shewasaskingforit defense. I'll consider them on a case by case basis.
Right on....
Statistics and probabilities don't apply to individual cases.
