May be but the majority of the jury was female as well. Also having read coverage of the cross-examination of at least one of the 'alleged' victims she certainly seemed to have changed her tune having gone from 'honour and pleasure at the prospect of working with him again (said not to him or in public but rather to another female work colleague) to nightmares about the experience he subjected her to. It often takes one dodgy witness to come unstuck for a whole case to fall apart and that after all is how it should be given the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Once the seeds of doubt have been sown and the conspiracy idea takes root.
Also contrast the difference in approach between our beloved Prince Andrew who spent all his time trying to run away from questions and then his lamentable performance to Salmond's forthright denial and complete willingness to be cross-examined. It counts for a lot with a jury. Doesn't mean he did not lie. He may well have done but the prosecutor did not lay a glove on him. He took his chance and won.
Jeremy Corbyn might take back my socialist uniform.
