Does anyone know the basis for this judgement? I consciously avoid looking up news because the world is terrible and it makes me depressed. But getting it filtered through Lemmy is somehow easier to digest because we support one another in viewing terrible things as terrible.

What I've read is the judge had let women that weren't part of the case testify during the trial that they were abused, even though that related to different event than the one the trial was about.

So? That's establishing character and a pattern of abuse, which is pretty standard in court cases.
