He was called by his lawyer, Ian Winter KC, as the first and only witness as his defense began to lay out its case, according to Sky News. Winter began by asking Brand if he had committed each of the alleged offenses he is being accused of, to which he repeatedly replied: “No.” Questioned about his prominence in the mid-2000s, Brand said that his marriage to Katy Perry in 2010 brought about “staggering fame.”
Brand then revealed that not a single person with relevant information agreed to testify on his behalf in the trial. “My entire life has been consumed by these allegations,” he told the Southwark Crown Court. “I have devoted myself to these matters.”
Again, im not condemning anyone before they have their full chance in court.
Ignoring that, how big of an asshole do you have to be to not be able to scrape up a single character witness? Like, I’m a known asshole, and I still have friends that would have my back and not believe most allegations that could be madeagainst anyone. They might believe I beat the ever living fuck out of someone, but most other shit, no.
This guy has nobody willing to say “nah, dawg, this my homie and that shit ain’t true”.
That’s just fucking sad.
Damn not a single friend or family member to back him up. Must suck being an ashole
