To think that justice was not done

AIBU to have read the reports of the trial of Christopher Trybus and be absolutely raging at the way that women’s lives are just viewed as absolutely worthless and the way that ancient tropes about women as deceitful and hysterical are still wheeled out to discredit victims and deny them justice? I just dont know what to do with all this fury

Surely that kind of information would be easy to check, that’s why we have passports.

It’s interesting how my gut instinct kicked in, even from an article reporting he’d been found not guilty and which didn’t list any details of the abuse or injuries she’d reported.

Only read the BBC article and yes they were quick to point out the jury was 7:5 female.

But Trybus, who ran an IT company, said that he travelled abroad frequently for work and was out of the country on the days of several of the allegations.

This is weird as well. He "said" it. Surely this is quite significant - surely a statement of fact on the issue might help. Was he in the country or wasn't he?

And a quote from the defence lawyer…
“how he was supposed to answer the allegations of a ghost from 10 years ago”

As though she wasn’t making the allegations at the time they happened. Poor woman.

I don’t really know enough about the story in general, but this sentence stood out in the BBC article.

“Outside court, Trybus hugged his current wife Bea, whom he married in August 2024, with both of them in tears”

Current wife?? If I was her mother, I would be concerned.

Edited

Absolutely.
What struck me in the very basic article I read, was 3 police investigations (hen’s teeth, as we know), and a new wife.

If I were in his position, traumatised by the death by suicide of my wife, under investigation, the last thing I’d do is get involved with someone else. Whereas he’s married again.

Gosh. I haven’t read any details, but even just the outline I read had me questioning it. Do you have a link with more info?

I can’t believe injuries to her abdomen that were described as horrific as a car crash were overlooked because he said ‘he hadn’t noticed them’. There was more than enough evidence to show he was abusive. I really have no faith in our justice system.

And the absolute crap about the foam roller.
its just disgusting
