Current Affairs Prince Andrew poor judge of character or what ?

[peteblue]

So he is actually choosing to testify in-front of a jury ? Is he mental ?

edit: or can it still go to court and him avoid having to testify ?

The man is so arrogant he’ll think he can swan into a courtroom and all the women jurors will swoon and all the men will doff their caps…..he’s toast…..

…of course he may be doing it to delay the trial until after the Queens celebrations……

Its not his choice apparently. It has already been requested to be a trial by jury by Virginia Giuffre. Her shout not his.

His legal team are just spinning a decision that is outside their control to appear that it’s what he wanted (now demanding) all along.

Prince Andrew denies close friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell in US court files

In US court files, the prince, who denies assault claims, also asks for a jury trial in his accuser's lawsuit.

www.bbc.co.uk

But a US lawyer dismissed it as a "PR move", adding Ms Giuffre had already asked for a jury trial.

Lisa Bloom, who represents a number of Maxwell's and Epstein's accusers, said Prince Andrew's request was "meaningless" as it was Ms Giuffre's constitutional right to have a jury trial if she asked for one.

I think it was also mentioned that he doesn’t have to appear in person if his legal team think they can put a case together that still has credibility without him appearing.

Tough decision for them there.

Don’t be daft Pete…. He’s a member of the royal family… not a Tory prime minister

Russia v Ukraine height of tensions and Andrew settles his sex case, a good day to bury bad news?

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Thought it wasn't about money for her with this though?

She hasn't gained any sort of admittance of guilt from him and looks like he's off the hook without having to give up evidence which could have led to other people's involvement becoming investigated.

This is now destined to be buried, a crying shame.

Unless she turns out to be the first of many. Which, lets face it, isnt totally unlikely.

He has de facto lied about knowing her, lied about having underage sex with her, and has lobbed (I assume) a LOT of money at her to make her go away.

Enter Stage Left.......
