Like I said above, Clifford probably did what he was accused of but the only "evidence" was what a group of people said.

Now if you were worth a few bob and a group of people you know/knew made complaints about you using similar "believable" scenarios, how would you defend yourself in the face of a prosecutor making a strong case to convince a jury?

All you could do would be to deny it all and hope the jury believe you.

If you had always been a nice, decent, inoffensive person, they might. If you had always been an arrogant, smooth, manipulative, overconfident even cocky individual and came over as just that in Court, they probably wouldn't believe you whether you were innocent or not.

The Law on evidence needs some revision?
