“Her attorney, Chris Stewart called the verdict “one of the biggest victories for women in the United States.” Cheston’s lawyers believe the $1 billion settlement is the largest jury verdict ever awarded in a United States sexual assault case, according to The New York Times.
“A long-asked question was answered the way that it should be, and that was ‘What is the value of a woman who has been sexually assaulted,’” Stewart said. “A Clayton County jury – 12 people, white, black Hispanic, male, female – said that a woman who has been sexually assaulted is worth $1 billion dollars, and I think that’s a great thing.”
While Cheston will likely not receive the full settlement, the statement the jury made is what matters Stewart said on Twitter.
Court documents say Cheston was visiting a friend when she was sexually assaulted by Brandon Lamar Zachary, a security guard hired by Crime Prevention Agency, Inc. for the Pointe South Apartments. After the incident, Zachary was arrested, charged with rape, statutory rape and child molestation and, ultimately, sentenced to serve 20 years in prison.”
“back in the day” oh you mean when spanking your neurodivergent or mentally ill children was still acceptable behavior, mmmmm yikes, don’t even start your sentence with that shit if u want me to take anything you say seriously
“Your father and your uncle would’ve gotten their asses knocked on the floor for that shit” yeah grandma, maybe that’s why they’re both so fucked up
why isn’t anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? it’s okay to be wrong. no one should be terrified of every tiny little mistake they might make. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow and change.
Terfs: wombyn are their ovaries!!! Ovaries make a wombybybynnn. Accept that u are a womynbdgnn you have ovaries !!!!
