Russell Brand's barrister has told a jury there is 'no evidence' the comedian is a 'psychopath who rapes people and thinks it's normal' and that he respects when women say no, in his closing speech at Southwark crown court on Monday. Brand, 51, denies seven offences, including rape and sexual assault, against six women.
