  • Unsubscribed

    I love the cases but can’t stand Kristi anymore. She lets her own bias colour the stories in a way that doesn’t let us make our own conclusions anymore. I do check new episodes for info on the cases and research them myself.

    Your assessment of the Hockey Canada SA trial was embarrassingly one sided in favour of the complainant. This review won’t give me enough space to give all the examples. You accused the judge of being biased and did the exact same thing you accused them of.

    It’s clear that you don’t agree with those kind of sexual acts, and that’s perfectly ok, but the truth is some females love it and want it.

    I deeply sympathize with true sexual assault victims, but I don’t feel that fits here. Sure th... more
