Lawyers have been twisting the legal system for years. It's there job. And that's what the appeal process is for. I think he probably has a good case for appeal. Maybe the judge made the decision based on him thinking "I get a guilty verdict here, I look good. It gets over turned and the appeal court looks bad, I'm still looking good."

Maybe if they had forced them to watch an entire scene it might of got him a not guilty verdict. However I doubt it.

I wonder if people here would think the same if this were a video without sex and porn. Someone was pouring piss into a girls mouth, covering her face with puke, forcing something down her mouth to make her vomit. Slapping her so hard she cries.

Put the girls clothes on and then think if you agree with his freedom of speech.

Now ask yourself if the guy would get arrested for assault even if the girl was paid?

Then remember bum fights.

Thinking outside the box too much for some?
