You cannot rely on testimony’s. They are fallible.

There are corroborating witnesses. For example the rape victim's father told her it was rape when she told him what happened to her the day after it happened. That father was a credible witness.

It wasn't a simple he said she said.

Why?

I am sure she loves him and she knows he was a devil in the past. She loves him for his reformed self.

A crime from 20 years ago should not be a death sentence. People mature and develop. Look at Mike Tyson.

Just the serious nature of what he did. A LOT of women would of filed for divorce over this. 

And it does help that there is decades of time from when this happened.

@Leo Gura her father also wasn’t told the correct story. 

eg. That it was anal rape. He only discovered that a few weeks before the trial.

she is not going to tell her dad that was willing to have anal is she? She could well of told him as she needed sympathy and support due to the regret and emotional pain caused by the reckless encounter.

All her witnesses were told different accounts and eventually everyone decided she was raped. That’s how Chinese’s whispers works.

im not saying her version is false - just that there is reasonable doubt.

Sure there is doubt. But it matches his general pattern of behavior at the time. He was def pushy with women.

Given that it happened a long time ago and he has a family he should perhaps have been given a more "symbolic" sentence such as a massive fine, community service, an electronic ankle monitor...

10 years 6 months.

I hope during his term he can face the truth of the harm he is done and admit it publically. That would be growth and do lots of good. He has lots of time to reflect.

@JoshB woman can also be loyal to a fault once attached to a man. Their beliefs in him, his goodness, can be almost irrevocable. This could in part explain his wife's psychology.

She has 3 kids with him! Of course she will hesitate to leave.

More trials like this are probably on the way now.

I imagine quite a number of famous guys must be shitting themselves.
