Juries don't get to choose the cases put before them. There is also the minor issue of what is reasonable doubt.
As we have learned from the number of innocent people freed from death row in recent years juries don't always get it right. Let's give them more than a black or white option to a grey world.
- mamon 9y agoWhen the case reaches the jury it's already too late - accused student can be suspended and otherwise punished a long time before that. We've lowered the threshold of what triggers an investigation to such ridiculous level that we are getting a lot of false positives. Why the universities even need special internal policies about sexual abuse? Why college students cannot be prosecuted according to the same criminal laws as the rest of the society? Why do we need this ideologically biased Title IX personnel, instead of relying on police and DA office to investigate? College students are at least 18 years old - let's treat them like adults, not like vulnerable, stray children.
