[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="thegerg"] None, from what I've read.lamprey263Sorry should have said practically no evidence... I use to work at a law firm that had quite a few rape cases, on I remember a girl claimed a guy raped her on her word alone, even though her family testified against her, including her sister which said that her younger sister (the alleged victim) was infatuated with her boyfriend (the defendant), the "victims" diary was presented as evidence during the trial showing repeated entries stating she dreamed of the defendant falling in love with her and them running away together... then she claimed he raped her, no rape test turned up evidence of a rape, just her word, and actually the times she claimed he raped her when she reported to police happened to fall under a period where the defendant was serving a stretch in jail so there was no possible way for him to rape her. Yet, despite this evidence, "what went wrong?" you might wonder. Well, "jury of your peers" my friend, the lowest of the low who don't know how to wiggle out of jury duty, or don't have anything better to do, that's who hears your case. He was convicted on her word alone, I mean facts seem to mean nothing to some people, just seeing the "victim" a young girl and a grown man as the defendant is enough to make some people already make up their minds.
Did his lawyer file an appeal? With the way you described it I don't see how that conviction wouldn't have been thrown out in an appeals court.
