Yes, Don W, I would not be a good choice for a jury on this case---I think the evidence (and his history) is such that he is very likely guilty of raping the maid. And that rubs me the wrong way--bigtime. What evidence have you heard that indicates he did not?    This is a vastly different question than the maid's immigration problems or her possible involvement with criminals.

From a legal standpoint, her case has failed.   But, as Don Firth notes, the question of committing the crime remains open--and probably always will remain so.

If he did the crime, he is now off the hook.

But as I noted earlier, and others have now also pointed out, other possible victims are now coming forward.

It appears likely his political career is now dead.   And I have to say I am not unhappy at that news.
