Kevin Spacey Found Not Guilty Of Sexual Assault

[Khandro]

"After almost 12 hours of deliberation, jurors at Southwark Crown Court cleared him on all counts.

The actor had tears in his eyes as the verdict was read out and later nodded at jurors as they left the court. Letting out a big sigh in the court room, Spacey thanked the guard in a hushed voice and received a pat on the back from his legal team."

I am so pleased for him, - just saying.

//So the new oath goes ".....to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth except where it is too problematic to prosecute me for perjury"//

If you want a decent debate you need to stop being silly. To support a charge of perjury it must be shown that the defendant was wilfully making a material statement which is false and must know that it is false or does not believe it to be true. I have not followed the Spacey proceedings but because he was acquitted does not mean that witnesses or his accusers committed perjury.

To show how ridiculous your contention is, consider the statistics on rape charges. Around 25% of those accused of rape are acquitted. Are you suggesting that all the complainants in those cases are charged with perjury? How do you believe that will influence whether a rape victim reports the crime?
