"Maybe the Vegas players read the judges verdict which made it clear the players were wrongfully accused and thats why they stood up for Carter Hart. Maybe others should do the same before defaming Hart"

"If you're curious to know the facts of the Carter Hart and Hockey Canada teammates case here is summary of the XX key findings of fact in judge Maria Carroccia's ruling: X. That Carroccia found the complainant E.M. to be both unreliable and not credible in her testimony about the events of the night in question June. XX 2018 in London Ontario. More than that Carroccia found that E.M. had given her consent to the sex acts with the men that night. The Hockey Canada Five were always presumed innocent until found guilty under our system but Carroccias finding does more than find them not guilty."
