Thirteen women have come forward to accuse Depardieu of sexual assault involving incidents spanning two decades. In February 2021, Depardieu was charged with rape and sexual assault allegedly committed in 2018 against actress Charlotte Arnould. Darras was auditioned as a witness during that ongoing investigation and chose to file a separate complaint last September.
But the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Monday confirmed media reports that it would be dismissing Darras’ complaint due to the statute of limitations. Depardieu has not been convicted in connection to any of the allegations. He denies any wrongdoing.

Harvey Weinstein's conviction overturned by top New York court
In a 4-3 decision, the state Court of Appeals said the trial judge made a critical mistake by letting women testify that Weinstein assaulted them even though they were not part of the charges he faced.
...
The court also said the trial judge compounded the error by letting Weinstein be cross-examined in a way that portrayed him in a "highly prejudicial" light.
"It is an abuse of judicial discretion to permit untested allegations of nothing more than bad behavior that destroys a defendant's character but sheds no light on their credibility as related to the criminal charges," Judge Jenny Rivera wrote for the majority.
"The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial," she added.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Horrible person, but from the admittedly short summary I read the ruling doesn't sound crazy. Letting prosecutors put on people who are testifying that the accused did something similar to them as a way of proving different similar allegations is a little dangerous.

In some ways (philosophically), doesn't the court treat perjury that way?El Guapo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:48 pm Horrible person, but from the admittedly short summary I read the ruling doesn't sound crazy.
