The prince and the sex offender

[Doon frae Troon]

It is suggested that his left hand was disproportionally too far from his shoulder and that his hand was photoshopped.

If true ....where could his hand be.

There was a news story yesterday where an employee of Epstein Steve Scully, working on Epsteins' private island and who hadn't given any an interview before, claimed he saw Andrew and the girl together on the island "playing around" together.

Wonder why this person didn’t go to the police and instead went to a paper ?

If he hadn't reached an out of court settlement would he have had to have travelled to the US for the court case? If so then was he at risk of arrest by the US authorities who have been looking to question him?

It was reported that he would have given evidence, answered questions etc via video link in the UK. No need to travel to the US.

It is a settlement agreed between the two parties.

Prince Andrew has not been proven to have committed any wrong doing but he has lost many roles and privileges because of the accusations.

The lady does not appear to have been imprisoned at anytime and her reputation is not that of Snow White. She may have suffered in some way and is being compensated in a way she is happy with!

On the basis of being innocent until PROVEN guilty I would PA has still lost a great deal more despite a the lack of any demonstrable proof. He may not be a likeable character and is privileged but that isn't how 'justice' should work.

This court action wasn't about justice. It was about litigation for damages.
The two things are separate.

Well aware of difference, thanks but your are wrong.

In both the Courts/legal system is seeking justice for the parties in dispute. In one it the state v the accused in the second the Courts judge on the basis, of probability, if one party 'damaged' the other and then if the 'wrong' may be corrected and deserves some form of compensation

Otherwise known as a just settlement.

I mean justice as in Criminal Justice and a criminal conviction, as opposed to civil justice and a decision in one party's favour and damages.
The previous conversations suggested that some believe there is an overlap or that they are the same.

Well I never. You really do learn something every day.

No probs. Happy to help ?

Can you expand? Were they originally charged with Dangerous Driving? And what was the charge, and consequence, in the Civil (presumably) Court?

Dangerous Driving would never appear in a civil court - it would be in a criminal court. ie it is a criminal offence

I knew/know/agree! That's why I asked the question(s)!
