People, as usual, are having recency bias, and are taking McGregor's testimony as a source for doubt. People forget what we know:
We have the medical report by the doctor, by an expert on sexual assault, and by enforcement officer, that describes multiple injuries across her body. We have Conor's DNA. We have confirmed testimony of a tampon incrusted into her vagina that was surgically removed.
We have records of her being traumatized, incapable of working, having panic attacks, for long after the incident. We know she tried to pursue a criminal case, not civil. There are reports of her refusing a payout. We know of her house being broken into. We have precedent of Conor being aggressive, and multiple accusations that overlap in significant ways to this, involving physical and sexual violence. We don't have James' DNA in her.
So, what are we to conclude? That she beat herself up and faked trauma for years, fooling doctors of her mental distress? That Lawrence had sense in her but left no traces of it in her body, miraculously? That she pursued criminal charges and refused a buyout because that way she would later cash in more? That her boyfriend beat her up for being a bad girl? That despite people saying the injuries were abnormal, they were either self-inflicted or derived from elsewhere?
Seriously, how can people give the benefit of doubt to McGregor knowing what we know?
I think because her story isn't adding up, she said she bit him and he bit her but witnesses and CCTV footage seem to point to her not having damage. The injuries were first shown 3 days after the events. She did first wantt o open a criminal case but they didn't have the evidence to push forward. I'm in the middle, i can't say with an confidence he did or didn't do it. It's not about giving the benifit of the doubt but more for me having the full picture and it being clear he did it which hasn't been presented yet. Regarding the mental issue her DR today said been suffereing from it years before Conor was in the picture.
I have no solid idea and haven't seen the CCTV footage which was reported, but say she left without injury i think they should get a bruise expert and if possible find out how fresh / old they are. Say they were 3 days old then it'll point to Conor say if they were 1 or 2 days old then it could point to her ex beating her up after after finding out she cheated on him?... still more days in court before we need to pass judgement.
