Amy, a follow-up to the gang-rape trial here in Orange County, the one where videotape evidence showed three teenage punks taking brutal advantage of a girl they just drugged: latimes.com This is really horrifying. No wonder rape victims don't want to come forward. Even with videotape evidence, the victim is going to be called a "slut" and "wannabe porn star," have private investigators check out her entire past, and even be threatened (not mentioned in the article, but something I heard of locally). And then a jury will deadlock because some members will actually believe this *bullshit*. Thankfully the retrial brought about more definitive results, and now the defendants will have to pay. But what about the tactics of their well-paid defense lawyers? Another day, another case? They only did what was expected of any defense lawyer? Why should "defend your client" translate to "psychologically assault a victim of rape"? By the way, on an unrelated note, take a look at this story, "Driver Allegedly Rams Pregnant Women's SUV": breitbart.com ... then come up with a creative "punishment that fits the crime." ;-) Tenchusatsu
