Sure, the footballers could have just not, but when you've been violated like that, it's completely valid and rational that they'd get so angry they'd punch them, especially after having been catfished and thus essentially SA'd.

Further more he put himself in that situation by going back to meet the guy again. He may have even premeditated the murder if he found out the person was a man which would explain why he put himself in that situation again now wouldn't it? He should have been convicted of at least manslaughter but the jury wasn't taking the law into account. A jury wont convict someone who is guilty under the legal definition of a crime if they feel that person was justified even when the law doesn't account for "justification" in any way.

Someone tried to catfish my mom once, posing as a rich widower stuck in the Philippines while his yacht was being repaired after suffering damage in a storm. Fortunately, my mom's not stupid and knew about catfishing before her friend got her a dating site membership for her birthday. As soon as it was clear that they were catfishing, she brought me and my sister in to help figure out how to string him along and waste as much of his time as possible. It was pretty fun, but I imagine she's not the only one being catfished by this person, and the others may not have been as savvy.

It kind of really upsets me that no one helping this elderly man make a cashiers check in a very large amount stopped to question the transaction. I know its not the employees fault but.... they failed their training.

[@harrypuddles]

or their training failed them

[@randyscavage]

In my experience as a teller, such a large cashier's check would require an approval from the Branch Leader, and they would ask the person making the check what their intentions are. Considering the man was elderly and the check was not typical (i.e. car or house payment) and was not for family, the branch leader should have sat the man aside and discussed it with him further. I can only speak in regards to the bank I work for but I'm shocked the fraud wasn't stopped once he needed to cut such a large cashier's check.

[@lynnlynn9124]

My bank refused to let my checking account deduction go through for a vet security deposit,while my dog was already prepped for surgery. I took a large amount of cash to the teller the day before and told her to make sure there were no safeguards or limits on it the next morning because it would be a large deduction coming from an area vet specialist. Of course they still flagged it and I had to put 2 different phones on speaker so the bank rep could assure the receptionist that the funds were being released. They'd probably approve it if I said it was for Nigerian's cars in the US.

Etute case makes me have hope. This man had fought a literal murder case where he was most def the dude who hurt Jerry, but I'm so glad that he was found not guilty. Sometimes, people can die from a single punch, and sometimes they can survive a lot. In the heat of the moment, he wasnt thinking of life or death, he was hurt and felt shamed by this man, and just wanted his get back. In no way did he possibly think Jerry was gonna die there, and just thankful that for once, the legal system came through. I hope he finds success and peace in his endeavors

[@dynamitenight8557]

I remember this. Both arguments have merit. What Jerry Smith did was disgusting. Did he deserve to die? No, but Etute was clearly in shock. This person had sexually assaulted him. Jerry Smith chose to be a predator and with that comes its consequences. Etute being found not guilty felt like the right verdict. This man was the scum of society. I know his family stood up for him but objectively he destroyed many people through his own deviant evil. Jerry Smith would’ve never been assaulted if he wasn’t luring kids to his home to abuse them. The lack of accountability from the prosecution is astounding. Etute could’ve ran away but this is a unique scenario and I’m glad the jurors used logic here.

[@Merpsicles]

"Suspected rape through fraud" is not something I would expect to hear as a legal charge. I'm not complaining, but it's interesting.

[@moodyinformed]

​@@DJKRUUSH you cannot truly consent under false information though. If someone switched places with their twin to have sex with the first twins partner, the partner is consenting under false pretenses ya know

[@daryissaplayz2312]

Inaccurate, it's only consensual with the information set. Whether it's a whole other person, or just an additional kink or something, if the person doesn't consent to that, it's non-consensual. Rape.

[@DJKRUUSH]

@@moodyinformed Yes but switching twins is having sex with a different person without consent. You give consent to a person for sex not to information. By your logic it would mean a girl that lies about her bodycount would also be suspected rape through fraud by her.

[@moodyinformed]

@@DJKRUUSH uhh idk how that's related but okay, I see where your head is. But I just used that as an example of thinking you're with a specific person, being told that they are a certain person, but they're hiding the fact that they are NOT. I don't humor "body count" bs, that's silly imo and not at all related to this type of consent question.

[@ksarecords8099]

Forsure I’m bisexual and I 100% agree. I don’t necessarily think he deserved to die but I also don’t feel bad for him. If you lie to someone and cross boundaries at the level he did, you are accepting the risk that somebody is going to seriously hurt you. The other problem I have with that is that creeps like that give regular queer people a terrible look.

[@vultusalbus4216]

I wonder how he did not realise something was wrong if the lights were off and the date had a mask on them. Even cis males who are concerned about women being trans always check downstairs if the woman is biologically female or not. But the problem is: if you're a man who likes looking downstairs, either you might be gay or a PDF file. And no I have nothing against gay men focusing on ph4lli, or p£n1ses. And don't get me wrong not all gay men are interested in gay sx, as Stephen Fry once said. I would be called out as a h0m0ph0be if I made homos£xuality all about sx, even though the suffix is about sx. I do have something against h0m0phobic male predators who identify as straight and become mad at everyone suggesting they might be gay, even though they may ironically engage in gay sx more than gays themselves. I don't identify as gay but I don't like h0m0phobes and I am irrationally scared of becoming a predators's victim. I know many men who are insecure about their s£xuality want to take it on people who seem to be doing better than them, especially if said insecure men were CSA victims and can't put up with other men's v1rginity. Morbid jealousy if I may say so myself. It's not the idea of being gay that scares me the most, it's the idea of being humiliated and destroyed by jealous people because I still have the s£xual innocence of a ch1ld. People believe whatever they want about me, as long as they don't weaponise their beliefs to try to bring me down

[@dreaziemobbins]

what's the evidence that atute's story is even true? Only 2 perpetrators corroborate atute's story and there are no witnesses and the victim died and can't tell their side. So, you're just assuming he told the truth? He's a murderer, though, so good luck with your brainworms

[@dreaziemobbins]

the "trans panic" defense is actually not a defense, it's when you fully admit what you did and assume that the jury would have done the same thing as you because they have the same prejudice. You have just spoken up and told us that you already share that prejudice. See, it's people like you who make the trans panic defense plausible. There's no evidence to back up their claim, but you believe what he's saying because of your prejudice. Thanks, gay male

[@dillsnickle]

@@dreaziemobbins As a trans gay male. This guy was a fucking predator. Sure, Atute had no way of knowing the extent but the guy was SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
