I believe my client, Tara Reade, was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden. She lodged a complaint at the time. She verbalised “stop it” and he did. She was not anonymous. Russell Brand accusers are anonymous and the allegations dubious. Head in lap?! Laughable!
A verdict should not be 100% assumed to be accurate. It is the outcome of an imperfect system. Miscarriages of justice occur on a regular basis. That’s why we have an appeals system and the term “wrongful conviction”. Juries are people.
If we accept anonymous accusers, mud-slinging prosecutions, conjoined unrelated and trivial cases designed to slander the accused in front of a jury, governments all over the world will have a playbook to destroy dissent. This is why the Russell Brand case matters.

Just broke down the Russell Brand trial issues with Mike Ryan @pulsenewstalk - We cannot prejudice defendants for a perceived “greater good” or justice becomes a political weapon.
20% of adult women have been prescribed antidepressants in Britain. That is unacceptably high and dangerous. Women need to seek non-medical solutions before they are irreparably damaged by the drug industry.

Russell Brand is serving a prison sentence for resting his head on a woman’s lap 20 years ago.

Russell Brand's ex, Georgina Baillie, says the mainstream media tried to persuade her to "bend to the narrative". How many more women has this happened to? Activism investigations that cross the line to solicit false testimony need to be investigated.
The anonymous accuser licked the celebrity’s anus after a comedy show in a threesome while cheating on her boyfriend. She then discussed anal with Russell Brand over text before going to have sex with him. Her boyfriend says she “resisted” anal sex then “surrendered”. 2 decades later she has him jailed for 9 years?
.@MegynKelly: "10 years on something she didn't come forward over for 22 years? This is CRAZY..."
Astonishing
.@MegynKelly on the absolute double standard in the Russell Brand sentencing: “If you needed any further proof that this is a political WITCH HUNT against Russell Brand, the judge just gave it to us.”

Dubai: One month in prison and deportation for a relative sharing a harmless family video of a 5-year-old mispronouncing food on Snapchat? This sentence is extremely harsh and disproportionate. Privacy is important but surely this goes too far in the UAE 📷
A take away from the Russell Brand case: Men, choose a good woman, get married and have children. Focus on giving, on service and reap the rewards. Protect yourself from a wasted and risky life of debauchery. I’m sure Russell would agree.
The system is fundamentally unfair & needs reform. Russell Brand's trial has increased public distrust in the process. I suggest mostly removing accuser anonymity (as in the US) & introducing a statute of limitations for most cases voluntarily not reported to the police.
England replaced “beyond reasonable doubt” as the requirement for jurors to convict in criminal trials. Now they only need to be “sure.” Russell Brand’s jury got that direction. “Sure” is a word you use about the weather. It doesn’t demand the near-certainty the old standard did. Say both terms out loud and see what I mean.
Here is some discussion on the term sure barristerblogger.com/2020/04…
When we are literally talking about ruining someone’s life and the lives of their children and families, we need to make sure truth is prioritised above the feelings of victims/accusers. End lifelong anonymity for cases like Russell Brand’s. Justice first.
Russell Brand: I know how difficult it is for victims who come forward with sexual assault cases against powerful people. I helped Tara Reade who suffered at the hands of Biden. She came forward publicly and braved the scrutiny. Lifelong anonymity needs review.
“Believe accusers” in Russell Brand trial despite being completely anonymous with no complaints made at the time (decades ago). Most of the people saying believe the women were the same ones who demonised and refused to believe Tara Reade when she complained of Joe Biden.
When a case is built in the press before anyone is charged, potential jurors absorb the prosecution narrative long before they hear the evidence. Even by osmosis, they can arrive with the sense that their job is to convict. The presumption of innocence is difficult to protect once guilt has become the public expectation
