I was pleasantly surprised. The two jurors who voted to leave didn't leave comments, of course. They had no justification.

False rape accusations are the holy grail for MRAs. Now they feel fully justified in saying whatever's on their mind about feminism and women in general.

"I'd rather see thousands of rapists go free than a single man wrongly convicted" which I think is a way of saying rape should never be prosecuted at all.

is every case of rape convicted and no false allegations convicted. But we're always accused of wanting innocent people to be in prison when we say we want rapists convicted. I don't want innocent people convicted when rapists are running free! But I certainly also don't want rapists to be free, and there is a hell of a lot more of that.
