It's really simple. First you just need to figure out who's telling the truth.
- lmm 11y agoWhich is the justice system's whole job, and they've gotten pretty ok at it.
- vlehto 11y agoIn rape cases about 1,5% proven guilty, about 1% proven false. But I guess ~97% failure rate can be considered OK in such situation?
- venomsnake 11y agoCourts start from presumption of innocence. Which is something that is not compatible with the "victim's story should not be questioned or challenged" approach that some advocates like.
- xlm1717 11y agoWho has time for due process when such misogynistic injustice is taking place.
- smegel 11y ago> and they've gotten pretty ok at it By that do you mean "pretty mediocre" or "pretty good"?
- Sevrene 11y agoIf I was being charged with something and they offered the 'pretty mediocre' option for determining guilt vs the 'believe the victim' option, I know which I'd take. The system isn't great, but it's the best we've got, sadly.
