I’m shocked that this sham trial is going ahead when women are faced with actual hate crimes on this platform every day & no one can get the police to do a damn thing about rape & death threats, doxxing, harassment or stalking.#IStandWithMarionMillar#WomenWontWheesht
The CPS is on its arse, can’t even prosecute rapists properly. We provide them with reams of threats and abusive messages and it’s all ‘we can’t prove who is behind the account’ and ‘you can’t prove they actually tweeted that though’ – but prosecuting women seems a doddle
Being just an arraignment doesn’t really change anything. She was arrested and brought to court to be arraigned on the basis of saying men aren’t women. And for tweeting a picture of a suffrage ribbon.
Even an arraignment hearing can ruin people’s lives. I don’t know about in Scotland, but in the US, merely being charged with something will lose a person a lot, because in spite of our innocent-until-proven-guilty trope, most people I know assume there is guilt or there would not have been an arrest.
I think it’s just a plea hearing.
Right. I think it is just arraignment on the charge.
