Stay strong Jian Ghomeshi. Stay strong, Ben Levin. You're liberals, and that's what should count in criminal court.

How can you say this before the case is heard? So much for rule of law, or respecting victims who come forward

Dude, Ezra is out to lunch. The rule of law is "Innocent UNTIL proven guilty".

Not the other way around.

That will teach him for living in Toronto and hanging with his home girl-guy Katy Wynne.

40 year old charges? I am afraid this sounds like somebody with an agenda. I am surprised there is no statute of limitations or is that only in the states?

Innocent until proven guilty. I will bet he will be acquitted unless the evidence is strong and/or compelling.
