thats every law you idiot. You have to go in court and prove that someone wronged you.

Except it's like 1000x tougher to convince a judge and jury of rape than basically every other felony in existence, let alone getting a day in court with how cops, detectives, prosecutors, and the whole law enforcement system fails sexual assault victims at all points along the way. Lol.

Aren't a lot of the details that public knows not really legally admissible? like obv you or I would convict him but maybe with respect to what's actually allowed to be presented in the case the jury being torn is legitimate, I dunno I haven't actually followed the details.

jury system is both impressive and also loving stupid. its good it exists, and honestly i dont know if there's really a better practical way, other than perhaps adopting the civil jury system for criminal cases but that has problems too. everyone should serve jury duty on criminal cases at least one to see how it works in both it's beauty and stupidity. kind of an enlightening experience.

it usually gets stacked to the brim with retired olds and poo poo. part of the problem is it pays next to nothing and in this day and age where everyone has no savings or in debt, no one wants to get stuck on a case where you may have to take 2 weeks or even several months literally going unpaid from work (unless you are a public employee) while you have bills, rent, and mouths to feed.

Cosby is probably guilty but the way they're going about this is shady. They told him for his testimony and settlement with the victim they wouldn't pursue charges, so he admitted to poo poo nobody ever would have in a criminal investigation, then after that DA died, the new one wanted to make a name for themsleves and pretended like the previous agreement never happened, but they're still using his testimony from it.

It'd be a tough gig being on that jury, on one side you've got a an old black man that everyone loves and couldn't possibly have done it, on the other a crying white woman who has no evidence and has probably made it all up but as she's a crying white woman you believe her anyway.

Every time I've ever had jury duty and actually been on a case (twice), everyone is so desperate to get the gently caress out that they all immediately fall in line after just 1 or 2 people speak up with an opinion. I'd be loving pissed if people were holding out and making the rest of the group stay in that room any longer than we absolutely had to.

Yeah in America sex offenders are seen as literal scum of the earth and we treat them in ways that we don't any other group, like putting them on a registry for the rest of their lives.

Which is why I'm so confused when people talk about institutionalized rape culture :psyduck:

The justice system is basically scum from top to bottom

• Cops often act as abusers by proxy in dv situations and are SCUM
• The high-paid defense laywers who represent predators and whose only perceptible defense strategy is blaming the victim are SCUM
• Your state-appointed public prosecutor who makes sweetheart deals with the defense while not telling you and definitely not getting any input from you, who you meet on the day of the trial and sits her fat rear end dead silent the entire time including when the defense makes numerous speculative highly objectionable statements, is SCUM
• The judge who says 'nice to meet you' after loving batting for the defendant the entire time for reasons unknown is SCUM
• The statute of limitations -- needless to say, a SCUM document

Money rules and if you've got less financial resources than the perpetrator you aren't going to get justice, just stay home tbh

Oh yeah and the so-called 'civil rights' police negligence lawyers whose website story says they went into law school after being victim of biased police conduct for themselves as a poor college student, yet ask for $600/hr even though they have less than 10 years experience and this isn't NYC. Chalk them up as being scum as well.
