Yeah, I mean when a complainant sends sexually suggestive emails to an alleged rapist after the attack, you have to question it. I know that victims often behave in unpredictable any irrational ways, but it's still not something you can ignore. Then the fact that they were collaborating to get their stories straight and an admission is court that they were trying to bait Ghomeshi by sending him sexual emails.
I am sure the Crown was facepalming a lot during this case.
Again, I personally think Ghomeshi likely did what he was accused of, but it was difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
