Have you ever thought the reason he hasn't shown remorse or apologised is because he hasn't done anything wrong?
Rape is a very serious matter but as we know from other high profile cases it isn't as straightforward as a stranger dragging a woman into some bushes in a park. It is usually one person's word against another & boils down to the issue of consent.
What about the fathers of sons who are wrongly accused? It does happen because unfortunately malicious allegations are made.
That's why the burden of proof for criminal convictions is beyond all reasonable doubt so that miscarriages of justice don't happen.
I have no opinion of David Goodwillie as a person because i don't know him. Only him and the woman who made the allegation against him will know what happened but the fact of the matter is he isn't a convicted rapist
