I don’t get your point. I’ve never seen that terminology used to describe a legal process. Both sides present their case so are there two narratives? I’ve been a juror and I listened to witnesses and closing arguments. Was there something else controlling my thought process?

I would never read Kara’s book. She is not someone I would trust so why read her potentially untrustworthy account of her relentless attempts to portray herself as a victim.

Well it’s good to know you didn’t start this thread with any biases.

Of course there are two narratives. If there is only one narrative that would typically mean no trial and therefore a plea agreement. This is not difficult to understand.

I’m thinking you like the word “narrative”.

I will acknowledge that I am dealing with people here who generally have lower IQs, certainly including you and Armstrong. Trial lawyers are story tellers. That is what we/they do. A narrative is another word for a story. I apologize for being insolent but I am a truth teller.

Right, but what the H is your point? Instead of telling us about the U.S. legal system, give as some insight about a potential Salazar vs Goucher case.

I have already done so in this thread in relation to defamation. In terms of a criminal case, remember that both alleged sexual assaults occurred in other countries, one in Portugal and the other in Italy I believe. So any criminal case would be tried in those countries under their laws and they may have statutes of limitations which would preclude criminal prosecution at this point. Kara very conveniently chose those countries to be sexually assaulted in or maybe she really was assaulted.

If Alberto is indeed innocent of any wrongdoing regarding the massages, I want to hear him deny it. A statement is not enough. Get out there Alberto unless you actually did it. Otherwise you are letting Kara control the narrative.

if i am casting aspirations.,what are they? what proof of wrongdoing is in her book? Demeaning someones reputation with no proof is slander. putting words in a book is proof of absolutely nothing unless it can be verified. what happened to innocent until proven guilty? first thing she should do is put any proceeds into a fund for drug victims or some such. That would provide credibility. He has possibly been a victim for at least 5 years on this board and there is nothing he can do to stop it. It is like a slander board. This is not how a civil society should function.

Al Sal is done...even Kevin Beck, whom is controversial himself, isn't even backing him. And Beck doesn't like the majority of running media either, but when *Beck* is even throwing shade at Al Sal and defending Kara, then you know that Al Sal is legitimately guilty...Al Sal has no allies in the running world to defend him.

No, it isn't. It is evidence that convicts you; not the bullsh*t you call "narrative".

It is amazing how some of you are in desperate need of an education. Narrative can be defined as “a spoken or written account of connected events.” Absent any physical or scientific evidence, narrative is exactly what would convict one in a court of law in a case such as this. Please get an education before it is too late.

So it appears as if Kara led Alberto on and flirted with him. Well one can never be too careful as a man. Alberto should have kept strict boundaries with a tease like that and not massaged her.

Not in the least. No one deserves to be assaulted. This thread has edged into a discussion of a civil case between the two, and how that might go. I would think Salazar would most likely claim he didn’t assault her, and he could cast doubt on her claims using statements from her book.

I’m curious, did you read the book?

A narrative is Trump's claim of a stolen election. It got nowhere in any court where it was claimed. Your claim about how courts of law work is merely your "narrative" and similarly bullsh*t.

The jury makes the decision as to which side they want to believe. Are you saying any closing argument is a narrative or do you believe all the jurors are watching CNN every night.

Salazar is not well known outside the running community so it will be easy to find an impartial jury.

Of course the trial would be the telling of a narrative of events to attempt to establish the elements of an offense, whether there was any corroboration from physical evidence or, in this case, not likely. This is so elementary that it pains me.
