You guys have to be cognizant of the documents that they’re presenting in that Star video.
For example, Jessica states that CTG claimed it was consensual, and at the 3 minute mark, they show the Grand Jury document that reads “Convened on August 29, 2001 the grand jurors of Berkeley county present upon their oath that Lenard L McKelvey did in Berkeley County on or about the eighth day of June 2001 willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously engaged in Pennell vaginal intercourse with the 15-year-old female”
A) That document is an affidavit, which is just the written allegation of what the court is trying to prove. Not a verdict of guilt.
B) That document was presented to a grand jury, not a jury of your peers. A grand jury’s duty is to simply determine whether there is enough evidence at the present time to proceed with the charges against a person. In this case, the evidence could have been medical records and the victim’s recount of what she remembered from the night.
I say all that to say this, be skeptical of what they’re presenting in this Star video, of what CTG has said in the past, and what has been proven in the court of law. There’s definitely some posturing on Star’s end because this stuff is being presented without explanation, and an audience who doesn’t have a good understanding of what these legal documents represent can easily be mislead.
