Aaaagh, my blood boileth.

I am sure Reddit posts and those on here were written to try and gain support for Richardson and were chosen because their audience might relate…

She worked internationally for twenty years. She was people’s colleague, friend, sister, child. She is not just a piece of clickbait to jab at. She has been done dirty by Turkish and UK press (plus a good few others we are unable to name) and I only hope that by reading through reviews on this forum and a few more enlightened pieces of journalism (ignore clickbait titles) that her true story is finally coming together. Folk commenting seem to forget that there are individuals out there who have attended open court hearings and have a very balanced view of events.

The prosecution case IS weak. It leant on the fact that Richardson had ‘fled’. An extensive extradition trial has now found that her mental health was never at question and amongst other issues she could/should not have returned. The Turkish court said she needed a Turkish psych exam. It was a Kafkaesque situation.

The actual child abuser hovering around this whole circus barely gets a mention in the reviews or forum, yet it seems fine to vilify this woman in a weak accusation case. Sorry to bring in gender, but maybe it is because she is a woman. Interesting fact. There are no figures collected for how many Turkish female child abusers.

And BTW Those of you who believe you picked the moral high ground for not getting involved are actually just sitting on a very cowardly fence. Get your feet down on solid earth and support this woman in a way that you can!

“If I'm guilty, I'm the ultimate figure to fear, because I'm not the obvious one. But, on the other hand, if I'm innocent, it means that everyone is vulnerable, and that is everyone's nightmare. Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I am you.”
