"Near the end of his ruling, Zuker seemed to address Gray personally, through feminist poetry and literature."

This is inapproitate conduct, I'd appeal the shit out of this, this was NOT an impartial trial, its was an idealogical trial and he has ample justification for an appeal.

“It doesn’t matter if the victim was drinking, out at night alone, sexually exploited, on a date with the perpetrator, or how the victim was dressed. No one asks to be raped.”

It does matter if the two parties were dating and broke up, or of the complainant was dating another person. Sure, it doesn't matter what a woman was wearing. At this point, only feminists talk about what a woman was wearing as motive. At trial, you have to talk about what a woman was wearing in order to recreate the crime, not to say she was asking for it.

Nice guys rape, too.

Really? Are they calling some rapists nice guys? Gee, they must somehow accidentally rape people.

[Crown Attorney] Lofft is asking for a medium to maximum penalty of 12-18 months in jail

This is a much more sane sentence for a case with no evidence than the 15+ years that the falsely convicted in the US receive.

It just looks like a standard he said/ she said case, where the judge listened and believed her side. Does this actually change the legal landscape?

Interesting discovery: the judge was caught altering court transcripts by the same lawyer who worked on the Honey Badger's complaint against the Calgary Expo. http://archive.is/oWYwO

Wow, that is a shit ton of bias on the part of that judge. Holy fuck.

I'd argue that he had this judgment written before the case was heard.

I'm not a Canadian attorney, nor am I knowledgeable in Criminal procedure in Canada, but if there is any way to choose a jury and not a bench trial in front of this judge in Canada, then I would highly recommend a jury of his peers. Is there a beyond a reasonable doubt standard in Canada because I have no idea how any factfinder could be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt based on her testimony against his testimony where she sent him a text inviting him out for hot sex, was going to engage in a threesome, then when they break up, she reports it and it strongly appears that she was being treated for mental health issues based on her press release. Sounds like a fabricated rape allegation by a woman with a borderline personality disorder who felt abandoned by the accused after he broke up with her.

It doesn't. The relivant law is pretty settled.

What it may do is shift the tactics used by lawyers a bit.

“In a lot of ways my life continues in shambles,” she said. She has changed her PhD subject from women in prison to sexual assault. That seems fitting.

Wonder if she was trying to find out what it is like for women in prison from a first hand experience and the plan backfired. Oh well she is making due with what she has got and all it cost her was the lively hood of an ex-boyfriend.
