You reckon being accused of something should land someone in prison?
Wow.
OK.. I accuse you of child abuse and meth dealing.
So git your ass to prison. You have been accused.
“Patel was somehow acquitted by the jury that heard this graphic testimony.”
There is your answer.
Notice that the article does not use to word “allegedly” meaning the article shows that Dr. Patel did those things and should have been convicted of rape, not to mention murder.
If he did not do those things, he would have lawsuit against the news organization who ran this story.
