Canary - Like you, I know nothing of the two people involved in this case.
Like you, I was not present at the proceedings at either hearing.
Unlike you, I am not willing to make an assumption based on absolutely no evidence, except my own willingness to believe that a stranger has been vindictive for money.
My own view is that, given what we know from past testimonies, just how horrendous rape trails are for the victim, I find it seriously hard to believe that there could be any amount of money that would make a woman re-live the experience all over again simply to gain some financial reward.
But as advised by others, why let facts get in the way of a judgement from a stranger?
