  10. CW: Sexual assault

    "The magistrate ruled “not guilty”. In summing up how he reached his decision, he explained that to be found guilty would have a huge impact on the man’s life, and while he was sure I intended to be reliable, there was a very real possibility that as I was pregnant I was in a heightened emotional state and could not be relied on to give an accurate account."

    WTF

  14. It took all day to do jury selection for what’s expected to be a two day trial for a relatively simple case. And while I can imagine some streamlining, in general I think that entire process was necessary (even if it did result in the prosecutor saying “no” to me :).

    Amendment VI
    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial

    This is obviously not happening. Furthermore, archaic bail laws leave defendants sitting in jail for *years* awaiting trial.

    And yet we keep hiring more police who, needless to say, keep arresting more people.

    This doesn’t scale. It can’t possibly scale. It’s insane.
