Brings back the Gomeshi trial : women hid from lawyers, prosecution and judge they had exchanged thousands of e-mails prior to accusing the guy.
Problem is, they went with a legal argument of "multiple independent testimonies showing a pattern of behavior". Those testimonies were never independant. They lied under oath. And that was just one of the endless lies they told. The defense lawyer did an amasing job digging all the evidence despite it being rather hard at time to even guess there would be proof somewhere to obtain ( such as private messages of the accusers ).
The judge's verdict was tl;dr : "Ladies, I'm trying really hard to Listen and Believe whamen, but you lied non-stop during the whole trial and there is no way I can help you at this point, so I have to rule non-guilty. Sorry whamen."
Yah, and then they started to change the law so that such a thing can never happen again. As In: Women colluding and lying about should not be a reason that the man cannot be convicted.

And Ghomeshi's career was finished anyway.
So CBC replaced him with a POC with zero interview skills, then the most vanilla sycophant soyboy ever from Newfoundland.
