Diddy, Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey's legal victories expose critical flaw in #MeToo prosecutions: experts
Fox News
Experts explained how celebrity status provides advantages in court as Diddy and Johnny Depp secured legal wins, suggesting the #MeToo movement faces challenges in securing convictions.
"It gradually became emotion over evidence, and that is antithetical to jurisprudential standards in America." "Trials often come down to liability and credibility, and celebrities have the upper hand, because jurors love them. That is why they are tough to take down inside a courtroom."
After seven weeks of trial, Diddy was found not guilty of sex trafficking – one of the most serious accusations the rapper had been facing. Spacey was acquitted in his high-profile London trial stemming from allegations that he had assaulted four men, while Depp won $10 million in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard.
