Criminal Justice

As a person who has survived being dragged through the exhausting process of our criminal judicial system, I am still utterly baffled at how ludiicrous it can be. This one case particulary disturbs me.

This brave and amazing woman was raped and when she tried to prosecute him, the dumb ass judge refused to allow her to use the word in her testimony. When defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty, why should victims be barred from telling their version of what happened to them? I commend this woman for fighting back and coming forward to share her story. Keep fighting, Tory!
