That's possible but you're speculating. The media is not allowed to report the reason for the mistrial. The only thing that has been reported is that: "...Wednesday afternoon, Carroccia told jurors that something had happened over the lunch hour that she needed to think about and discuss with...

Though the trial had barely begun, the judge has already declared a mistrial. A new trial with a new jury will start right away. I'm not surprised at the news because the trial was paused for 1.5 days right at the start to discuss procedural matters that arose during the lunch break of the first...

The legal discussions between the judge and the lawyers continued today without the jury present. The press is not allowed to report on what issues are being discussed or what was said. The trial is supposed to resume Friday but we'll see. Nobody wins in a case like this but I think it will be...

The prosecution ("the Crown") made its opening statement in the trial Wednesday morning. After the lunch break, the judge adjourned the trial for the day to discuss a procedural matter with the attorneys. https://www.tsn.ca/crown-says-london-hockey-trial-a-case-about-consent-1.2293760

One of the key questions in the trial is whether the complainant consented to the sexual encounters of that evening. According to her, she consented to the sex with the first player but not the others. However, because the players were conscious that there might be a problem with proving that...

That's interesting, Eager, but as I pointed out: "...Lawyers in Canada do not have peremptory challenges..." So jury selection proceeds more quickly in Canada than it does in the U.S. Also, jury trials are less common in Canada than in the United States. In general, Canada does not have jury...

This TSN article answers some questions about the case and the Canadian legal system, for example: "...Lawyers in Canada do not have peremptory challenges [during jury selection] like you might see in a U.S. court."

A jury of 12 plus 2 alternates has been selected for the trial. There are 11 women and 3 men among the 14 selected. It's a little surprising that it took only one day, but I guess the process moves more quickly in Canada than in the U.S. Each defendant has his own legal team. The 5 are being...

The trial proceedings are underway today with jury selection. All five accused players entered pleas of not guilty. Many potential witnesses were named, including the complainant and some of her friends and other members of the Canadian Junior team of 2018. Here is a link to a current podcast...

A 2024 story in ESPN about the timeline of events in the case leads me to believe that there is a political aspect to the case: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39436540/hockey-canada-sexual-assault-case-scandal-news-updates Here's a summary of key events: January 2018: Canada beats...

It's not true that "police were not consulted." The trial of 5 players from this case starts Tuesday in London, Ontario and as this article states, "London police investigated and closed the case in early 2019. Criminal charges were laid in January 2024 following a revived London police...

If a guy is considering whether to book an agency girl, he can't ask the girl any questions. He can only ask the booker. So what questions should he ask? If he asks, does the girl provide GFE? The booker will almost always say yes. If he asks, does the girl have a nice body? The booker will...

The U.S. Justice Department is suing the state of Maine because the state has refused to obey President Trump's executive order banning the participation of males in female sports. Trump had singled out the governor of Maine during a White House governors' meeting because she had announced...

Elizabeth Nolan Brown of Reason.com has a column on the Boston brothel case. As usual she does a great job pointing out the idiocy of how both law enforcement and the media handle otherwise minor, harmless violations of the law...

I'd agree with the advice to just hire an escort and tell her what you would like. Most escorts would probably happily accommodate you. I would also recommend that you visit a couple strip clubs like Chez Paree and Kingdom. Touching the girls is allowed in the private booths (though kissing...
