Scarlet Blake trial - the thing that never happens....

There was a thread a couple of weeks about this case that got deleted. Obviously it's an ongoing trial but it's as we suspected with the defendent.

I've just done a google search, it's all from a couple of days ago except the Oxford Mail summary about the "genocide" comment posting the video, which I shared here yesterday.

It really is quite blatant, isn't it?

There is this BBC article from two days ago, which begins,

"A woman accused of killing a man... "

but does go on a few paragraphs down to say

"Ms Blake, who is a trans woman..."

No byline, I might just pop back and check if that's standard for court reports from BBC South.

The most recent story on the BBC News website, Oxford section, uses only female pronouns and descriptions for both Blake and Bell who, for the avoidance if doubt, are biological males.

The byline is
"By PA Media
BBC News"

A woman has said her alleged confession to the murder of a man found dead in a river was lies, a court heard.

No, a woman did not.

If the courts, the press, the BBC will believe and print something that is demonstrably false, that this man is a woman. I don't understand how they can possibly doubt anything else he says. What's the point of the trial. Fgs, he's said he didn't do it, case closed.

He's literally just a man with a gender identity. He doesn't have a GRC by the sound of it. He has a penis. He committed a very male typical crime (sadistic animal cruelty) and is alleged to have committed another one.

If you look at the arrest video and hear the voice “Scarlet” is very obviously a male.

On the subject of "At least it's not genocide".

As I understand it, the law in Florida which Blake was referring to and feels IS genocidal towards trans, and a reason why Blake and Evie Brockman felt they had to leave that state, is the one which expands the death penalty to anyone who "commits sexual battery upon, or in an attempt to commit sexual battery, injures the sexual organs of a person less than 12 years of age."

The death penalty for the genital mutilation of children does seem a bit extreme

A decade or two in prison seems more reasonable.

Seems the Oxford Mail stopped live blogging a couple of days ago.

WAiting for the judge's summing up now.

If the death penalty had a place anywhere, it would be for the sexual battery or genital injury of a child. I could be persuaded.

And shocking that Blake felt at risk of that punishment for that crime. Charming man.

I just put 'Scarlet Blake' into the search function on BBC News. Only mention is an early report of the trial (of a woman, natch), dated 14th February. Nothing since.

There's more than that. Try 'Jorge Carreno'. It's all been on the 'Oxford' tab as local news.

This is the latest, there are seven articles in total.

That’s an awesome photo of Jorge. Superficial I know, but it catches my attention every time.

Unremittingly grim - what a mess of a human being.

I'm not a supporter of the death penalty for anyone at all, I've always been opposed on moral grounds. But this law would only be "genocidal" for trans people if the majority of them are thought to be sexually abusing children. Which sounds a bit transphobic to me as a proposition.

I wonder if they lost interest when they realised it wasn't a woman after all.

It is a big crime for a woman, more mundane for non-women.

Would it apply to people encouraging children to undergo 'gender affirming care'? I think it would definitely apply to doctors and surgeons administering the 'care' but might it also catch those pushing the ideology.🤞

Although, in most cases, I think the death penalty is a little extreme.

What would they be doing with younger than 12 year olds?

It is, but I think it's more likely that the trans element makes it a bit hot to handle for a local paper.

It's odd for them to live blog this far and abandon it.

Presumably the journalist in the courtroom would have known from the start the defendent was trans

What a journalist sees and what a journalist is allowed to say are now two different things.
