Russell Brand rape trial: What his lawyer said about each allegation
BBC
What the coverage says
As the trial for Russell Brand continues, his defense barrister addressed the seven criminal charges he faces. The Guardian reported that the defense told jurors the comedian is not a "psychopath who rapes people and thinks it’s normal." Both the Guardian and the BBC noted the defense argument that journalists and a Channel 4 documentary had "poisoned the well" against the defendant. While the BBC added that the defense acknowledged Brand "had an immense amount of sex" while maintaining that "none of it was unlawful," the Independent stated that Brand denies all charges.
