I find it so difficult to read mcgregors' side closing arguments, not because It makes me doubt Nikita's story, but because I know in my gut it's all lies and I can't help thinking how Nikita must feel knowing she was raped and assaulted and having to listen to them make mental gymnastics out of her behaviour post rape to make her out to be a liar.
He's telling the jury to "focus on the facts" and his "facts" are that she didn't behave like the "perfect victim" in a film would afterwards - as if that makes her less credible.
NO, the hard facts are a tampon rammed so far up her cervix it had to be removed with a forceps, mcgregor's DNA inside her, the worst bruising on her body that the paramedic and dr's had ever seen and PTSD diagnosed by a psychiatrist from the event that's so bad she cannot live a normal life.
That is the physical evidence they cannot explain away so I just hope Nikita's team put the spotlight on that again.
I WISH they could bring up mcgregor's character so the jury see rape and assualt are perfectly in line with who he is: randomly assaulting that older man in the pub, assaulting the Italian dj, the woman who had to jump off the yacht to get away from him and broke her arm - and her intimidaton afterwards, the girl who he forced oral sex on in his car in 2019, the indecent exposure in corsica that caused that charity water race he was supposed to do to be cancelled, the fan who's phone he smashed, the degrading video he uploaded of dee mother of his kids giving him head to his instagram stories, throwing a dolly at the glass of a ufc bus with people inside, the woman in America who accused him of rape, the child with terri murray that's the spiting image of him who he clearly paid off to say wasn't his, the other kids he apparently has, all the videos we've seen of him groping women on nights out or most recently pulling their hair that show his utter contempt for women and sexual impulse.... I could go on.
He did it. He did it. He did it.
