Ted has the upper hand here, as her story doesn't = guilty.

If a person commits rape and the victim chooses not to expose it (thereby resulting in charges not being brought), a rape was nonetheless committed; instead of being adjudicated guilty, each person must make up his or her own mind whether the rape occurred.

If you look at Broadderick's interview, the fact that she made contemporaneous statements to others, the fact that she had bruises to show for it, and the fact that it is consistent with Clinton's pattern of behavior, it is more reasonable to conclude that he did it than it is that he didn't.

The fact that OJ was acquitted makes him no less guilty of the crime of murder; it just means he got away with it. A liberal perspective may well be that if the courts don't show a person as guilty, he simply CANNOT be thought of as guilty.

I don't see it that way. While a court can determine whether a person will be punished for an alleged crime, courts do not determine whether an individual in fact committed a crime. There can be no better example than the OJ Simpson case, although it plays out daily all across the nation. Many crimes are committed and criminals are acquitted, for lack of evidence or other reasons. They're still guilty; the courts just didn't find that the extraordinarily high standard of required proof for imposition of a sentence wasn't met.
