minus-squareskozzii@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 month agoI played hockey my whole life, and I can almost certainly say that those boys just got away with a crime for sure… The culture is firmly there, and I have no doubt they were guilty, but this is Canada after all. It would be far too embarassing for the victim to go through all this if it weren’t true… and now it’s just more pain on an already horrific crime. The judge saying inconsistencies in her stories… when she was blackout drunk… yeah that’s kind of how alchohol works judge. I hope they appeal.
