THe Conor Mcgregor thread

[hurley68]

So, imagine it like the difference betwee drink driving and dangerous driving.

For drink driving, there is a test. You either pass it or fail it. There isn't generally any room for opinion about it.

For dangerous driving, there isn't a test. It is a matter of the guard giving evidence of what you were doing, maybe cctv or whatever, and a Judge deciding on the evidence whether or not that amounts to dangerous driving.

There isn't a test (like a breathalyser, blood test etc) what we can do to determine is someone is incapable of giving consent, so it is a matter of the Judge/Jury listening to the circumstances and deciding whether the person was capable of giving consent or not.

A major issue with it is blackout. If someone is blackout drunk/drugged they may be able to say that they consent, but in reality are probably not capable of consenting.

Thank you very much.

I know a guy who audio recorded his wife and her lover in the family home and in the family car. When he told the wife he knew of the affair she denied it of course. He then mentioned the recordings. She called the guards and he was put out of the house that day (a house he built himself) never to return again. The wife got a court order sealing the recordings!!
So, be careful out there folks

you can be fairly sure there was more to it than a recording.
If he was put out of the house he did something.
Probably played her the recording while punching the head off her

She didn't get a barring order on the basis of him recording her. It isn't a ground for a barring order application.

Also, we don't have court orders sealing private records in a case like that. We have no fault divorce in this country so he neither needed evidence that she was cheating, nor would it be taken into account in court proceedings.

There is more to that story than you've been told!

Im very familiar with the details of the case.
As a solicitor I’m sure you’d know that she was put in fear … (in a bucket of dicks more like)
Because he disclosed to her recordings she was “put in fear”..
The court made him give an undertaking that the tapes (which were very graphic involving multiple 3rd parties) were locked in his solicitors office and would never be removed from there.
I don’t think I made mention of divorce proceedings which are entirely separate in law & are without fault in Ireland (which actually means it doesn’t matter what happened as the man automatically is punished, by legislation)

You might be very familiar with the details of the case but there was evidence of more than just recording of her to meet the threshold of "put in fear".

Now, if he threatened to show them to third parties, that would explain both the barring order and the order to leave them with his lawyer. But that would be reasonable, if he had done such a thing.

The court made him give an undertaking that the tapes (which were very graphic involving multiple 3rd parties) were locked in his solicitors office and would never be removed from there.

That is entirely different from an order sealing records, in fairness.

The man isn't automatically punished, by legislation or otherwise.

Jesus, the reports of the trial are an awful read now.. going through the details of the next morning, medical inspections at the sexual assault unit etc. Horrible that the victims of these crimes have to go through everything forensically like this but then there is no other way of dealing with it in a court setting I suppose. The ladies account of the night itself is shaky to say the least, but it seems there is no doubt she was the victim of an awful ordeal by either McGregor or his buddy, or both

After reading the latest evidence from the paramedics McGregor could be in big trouble. Her account of what happened is coming together now. Hard read alright.

I'm not even following it, how his partner can stay with him beggers belief though.

Beggars belief? She has kids with him and he has hundreds of millions. Not rocket science.
