There is no comfort at the TVA

So, if I understand the legal timeline, the DA's office should've responded to the motion to dismiss on October 6th, the Defense will have to respond to the DA's response by October 13th and the judge will make a ruling on that initial motion by October 25 at a pre-trial hearing. So at this point we won't even know if there will BE a full on Court Trial until we are half way through season 2 of Loki, since the Judge could dismiss the case on October 25. Any legal experts please correct me if I am wrong.

So, if the Trial does move forward after October 25th, it might not even begin until after Season 2 of Loki is over.

I am curious to see the evidence of both sides in this one.

I will admit, after the strangulation charge was dropped I began to consider that the Ex-Girlfriend was coerced by the arresting Officers to make the accusation due to the Officers jumping to a conclusion. Initially the Officer said he saw strangulation marks on her neck, but if that's not backed up by a subsequent medical exam I can see why the accusation would be dropped by the DA. As for why the Ex didn't drop the charges, New York state does not allow individuals to drop domestic violence charges, and even if they are false, the state will attempt to assemble evidence against the alleged offender. I understand the logic of this, as it's in the interest of the state to remove those willing to commit DV from the streets. Here's how that could go wrong. Cops have worn innocent people down until they make false statements before (See the case of the Central Park 5). So the Ex is coerced into making an Accusation by the arresting officers, and later on realizes this is bad and tries to drop the charges. She can't due to New York law works. Now she's dragged along in this case because of the DA/Cops and is essentially stuck in a no-win scenario since her career depends on Movie Studios trusting her and if it's discovered she deliberately or was coerced into lying.... that's probably the end of her livelihood.

As for the report of multiple victims cooperating with the DA, that was from a Variety article and neither NBC or ABC were able to corroborate that at the time, so it might just be bad journalism.

Again, I am interested to see the actual evidence both sides have in this. One of the best pieces of advice a Judge gave me was that you have to assume someone is innocent at the start, listen to all the evidence provided then come to your conclusion. To do otherwise risks putting innocent people in jail or worse, letting the real perpetrators of a crime escape Justice.
