## Summary

A jury in Britain found Russell Brand guilty of rape and three other sexual offences, prompting criticism of right-wing media figures who continue to defend him. The article argues that calls for due process and the presumption of innocence should be weighed against the jury’s verdict after it considered the evidence.

The jury heard testimony from dozens of witnesses, along with photographic and location evidence, and considered Brand’s defence. It also acquitted him of several other rape and assault charges, finding the evidence insufficient. Brand was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison.
