Overwhelming Circumstantial Evidence

The endless twists and turns of the legal system have always piqued my curiousity and I'll admit that I actually toyed with the idea of taking up law once upon a time. If medical school hadn't come knocking on my door, I might have traded my white coat for a white wig instead. Seeing my friends in legal firms living the designer high life now, I wonder whether I'd made the wrong choice ;)

Fortunately the Legal Beagle's always good for a quick consult.

You see, I've always wondered how our boys ( and some who claim they are! ) are caught with the good old sodomy charge over here in our country. Start a little hue and cry over some alleged raunchy mansex - and the obliging authorities come running with their batons and handcuffs. Wouldn't it be a little hard to prove that two fellas were carrying it on short of an incriminating webcam being placed in advantageous spots?

Well it isn't that hard. According to my sources, seems it's an easy enough conviction to carry out with enough circumstantial evidence. Seriously. Turns out there's a funny concept called 'Overwhelming Circumstantial Evidence'. Don't you just love sexy legalese? That's when the circumstances in which the persons were found can only possibly lead to one conclusion.

For example...
Two guys found naked, on the same bed. Used condoms on the floor. Lube on the bedside table. And medical examination shows one of them has had anal intercourse in the past 24 hours.


This isn't what it looks like! He's checking me for hemorrhoids!
Although the boys might not have been caught in the act ( since they would have presumably disconnected at the very least to answer the door! ), there would be sufficient grounds to convict for at the very least, gross indecency or at worse, the antiquarian Section 377A offence.

Idiotic Victorian laws aside, this overwhelming circumstantial evidence clause certainly had me thinking! Yes, while good boys everywhere dream of T & A and that awesome pimped-up ride, Scorpios are always busy thinking of nefarious methods to carry out the ultimate fool-proof frame-up of their dearest enemies! And I believe I've found the simplest way. Though I haven't found suitable foes yet.

Two unsuspecting fellas ( preferably both homophobic male rednecks ) could have been slipped a couple of roofies mixed with some tequila shots. Toss them both naked in the same bed at some sleazy rent-by-the-hour motel. Then sprinkle some used condoms and salacious gay mags about.

Certainly plenty of circumstantial evidence about for a charge, don't you think?

No wonder there are plenty of fellas out there crying sodomy.
