Wonder why he didn’t want to go make a few million in Russia. Seems strange.
The trial starts soon doesn't it? Maybe he has to be here for it (or wants to be here for it). I think he made a good decision. The questions I have regarding this case are as follows:
- Which player did she have consensual sex with?
- Is that player one of the 5 being charged?
- Who invited the other players to the room?
- Was she passed out? If not, why wasn't she protesting?
- Wasn't it reported that Batherson went to the room but left?
- Didn't she say anything when Batherson came into the room?
- If not, why not?
- Why did the woman's family report it to Hockey Canada instead of going to the police? It was Hockey Canada that reported it to the London police.
- Why did it take Hockey Canada 4 years to settle the lawsuit?
- The London police closed the case in 2019 but re-opened it after she won her lawsuit. Was there any new evidence or was the payout the reason?
From my perspective, not an open-and-shut case. I'm curious to see who the 2 witnesses are and what they have to say. I find it odd that 5 different players would risk their careers to sexually assaut a woman. I would think they were all popular with women due to their high-profile careers. I'm a woman so no male bias here.
