The lack of remorse is astounding.

The lady in question is very brave and has done a great thing for other women. Good for her.

We've probably all had the misfortune of meeting arseholes like him, arseholes that rarely get their comeuppance. Good on her for not letting him get off the hook, good on the justice system for getting something right........

I remember seeing him in BB 2016. Thought what a nasty piece of work he was then.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/05/us/mauri ... index.html

Maurice Hastings was finally vindicated of a robbery/murder/sex assault after spending 38 years in prison.
He had witnesses & an alibi & there was no evidence linking him to the crime but he was convicted anyway.
He pleaded with the DA's office to do a DNA test on the evidence in 2000 but they only got round to it in 2022.
Proved that someone else did the crime, that man died in prison in 2020 on a separate murder rape charge.
Shocking stuff...

That was lovely, then really sad when he was dancing on his own whilst the others had partners, then it became something different when he steamed into the bird in purple.
Basically, he was dancing with another women at his wife's funeral, how very French......... :thup:

Scientists who work in this area should be chained to cinema seats and forced to watch Terminator and T2 until the penny drops.
