Isn't Daniel's admission in the Makati court that he had carnal knowledge on Nicole while he know that she was unconscious enough?

The case was so simple, but the CA justices did not argue based on the line of argument of Nicole. The 3 conditions of rape according to law are: (1) there was force or intimidation, (2) loss of reason or uncousciousness of the victim and (3) victim is below 12 years old. Nicole’s camp argued according to #2 because of all the drinks, but the justices focused on #1. It was a bad decision

Daniel paid Nicole P100,000. I will not pay a single peso if I'm innocent.

How is a demure provinciana lass supposed to behave?

Well, she shouldn't be hanging around bars chugging half a pitcher of liquor using the pitcher itself!

The whole case is based on presumption of innocence, which means the prosecution has to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

This post title is really emblematic of the Lynch Mob's thinking. It demeans the Justice System that it used to praise to high heavens in the First Round of the Case when Ben Pozon issued a vote to convict. But when in the Second Round, the accused is acquitted, suddenly that same Justice System is a bunch of "manangs"–pejorative for old woman.

Then of course it cheaply and unethically uses the term "rapist".

You are a shameless and scurillous cur, MB, for writing such drivel.

As time goes by, Tasio, comments like this will sound and look and be exposed as being more and more screwheaded. Even you will be embarrassed and ashamed you posted such an obviously naive and ignorant statement. It's really dumb and wrong, dishonest and disdainful.

Respect the decision of the Court of Appeals and stop being BITTER (to those who are against it).

They acquitted Smith based on EVIDENCE without the media and the process being OPEN to the public.

…and it is not only one Justice who acquitted Smith but THREE Justices.
