That a Youtube comment section (especially a small one) can seem to be in agreement is not strange, but a result of the algorithm recommending the video to the feed of people with similar interests and views.
The video format is also not the best suited for dissecting trials. It is incredibly easy to use editing techniques to sow doubts about trials. A trial can be messy, evidence is not always straightforward and especially things like DNA evidence is subject to a ton of myths perpetuated by movies, television and fiction in general. That in conjunction with editing tricks makes it very easy to dramatize trials in a speculative manner.
I researched case (albeit fairly briefly). There seems to be a small core of people, some with a longer reach, that claims this man is innocent.
Still, when you have 13 accusers and a guilty verdict in the justice system, I'd demand a helluva lot more than Youtube videos and Youtube comments to make up my mind about the facts. I'd also be very wary of speaking about the case as if it is somehow a given that he is innocent.
You are right. I should not say anything is a given. Although I truely believe he is innocent, and know this was not a fair trial. I do welcome criticism or an oppsite view on this from anyone. I know the majority might think he is a terrible person and that he did it. Thats how it was mainly portrayed.
At the bottom of this page are the all accusers in a graphic which should be posted here. It is really insightful.

Graphic lists all accusers and details.
No witnesses where ever present, no evidence, at all 13 cases.
"Daniel received the most # of charges and years (62 years) for the accuser that said the officer that raped her was a short black male"
I still wasnt able to find out her name.
