Can we talk about Laura Gallacher

in the decade that they’ve had children - they’ve managed to successful hide their faces from the media.

and then they decide to show them during the rape trial? they must be so desperate. The jury won’t be able to see them anyway as they have to avoid going online

He just uses long words that gullible people fall for. He’s a charlatan.

If he does her on stand. He won’t do that. He’ll just have to be himself and speak his truth. Whatever that looks like.

I was at primary school with her, also with Beatrice and Eugene and others. She lived on the Wentworth estate, that area was very wealthy sports and business people. I think there was a lot of rot. It's grotty, makes me sick to think about.

Pair of insufferable wankers

I think you've over analysed that conversation, she says "maybe" you did say that. People can think they said something different, people can misshear things.
As for a woman supporting him, there are strangers supporting him. It can't be so difficult to believe that his wife believes him and supports him.
I don't believe him. However, I do think there are things about him that have changed. I do think men can be different versions of themselves with different women and I think they quite often are different with different women. This is a woman he chose to marry, he may have respect for her that he hasn't had for other women, she may see him as a good, respectful man who respects her boundaries and consent.
I've seen several posts on here of women finding out their H has seen a prostitute and they have been in absolute shock because they thought they had a man who respects women and would never do something so seedy. It works the other way too, there are men who put on the charm for women and seem like great men but when they have a wife where they want her they abuse her.
I doubt we will ever really know the ins and outs of their relationship, maybe she is standing by him knowing or at least believing he sexually assaulted other women. Maybe she is another one of his victims. Maybe she is naive. Maybe she believes that this is a witch hunt from the media and the allegations don't match what she knows of him. I do think she looks quite comfortable in the video so I lean towards the latter.

That whole fraudulent American religious trip they're on absolutely loves redemption arcs. The worse someone has been in their past, the better their testimony on stage sounds. Evangelical churches were falling over each other in the 70s getting converted gang leader Nicky Cruz, who stabbed 16 people, to speak to their abject congregations. So thrilling!

Hmm I don’t think it’s fair to pick holes in what this victim has said. She was there, you were not. More or less accusing a victim of lying about a violent crime is so harmful as it continues to perpetuate harmful myths and stereotypes about victims of rape and how they “should” behave and react.

I know it’s absolutely abhorrent. im just hoping it doesn’t make the jury question her report.

Hopefully the prosecution does a good enough job and the people on the jury don’t think the way you do. Btw the wipes comment is odd. People clean up poo all the time with wipes 😐

Sorry. I just usually find wiping poo or blood on fabric just makes it worse. But yeah stupid comment and consideration and totally irrelevant. My mind always questions things when I feel attached to an outcome and because of what’s at stake. Perhaps it’s just anxiety. Apologies for being stupid though.
