I’m still unable to understand this, and so is everyone in Ireland.

“Barbie Kardashian” admitted making threats and was found not guilty of making threats.

How can a jury find a defendant not guilty of a crime he has said he committed? How can a judge tell a jury to find a defendant not guilty of a crime he has said he committed? How does this make any sense at all?

Most bewildering lede ever:

Barbie Kardashian, who admitted in court to issuing threats to rape and torture a female prisoner, and threats to sexually assault a female prison officer at Limerick Prison, was acquitted on Friday of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to the two women.

Because rape and torture are not “serious harm”? Is that the justification?

Earlier on Friday, the accused, a transgender woman, told her trial she had wanted to “torture” a female prisoner, Tegan McGhee, when she threatened to rape her on February 25th, 2023.

Kardashian, who denied one count of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to McGhee, intending that she would believe the threat would be carried out, was found “not guilty” by a jury of seven women and five men following a four-day trial at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court.

So it’s “Kardashian” deciding that rape is not serious harm and therefore he didn’t threaten to cause serious harm to McGhee, he merely threatened to rape her. Why would a jury adopt his definition of serious harm?

Kardashian had told the trial she had also wanted to rape prison officer Roisin Linnane, but that this would not have been a realistic threat, as she was locked up alone in her cell for 22 hours a day, and that she threatened Ms Linnane that she would “molest” and sexually assault her by “putting my hands between her legs and grabbing her vagina” as this would have been a “realistic” threat.

And the jury acquitted him.

The jury found Kardashian “not guilty” of three counts of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to Ms Linnane, intending her to believe the threat would be carried out.

Despite the fact that he said that’s what he did.

Kardashian admitted in court to making a threat to rape McGhee and making threats to “sexually assault” or “molest” Ms Linnane.

“I wanted to punish them for life for making false allegations about me … I wanted revenge,” Kardashian said.

Therefore the jury found him not guilty of doing that.

What are they smoking??
