No longer legal to cross-examine "victims" of domestic violence

The landmark draft domestic abuse bill, published tomorrow after an 18-month delay, will prevent victims from being subjected to the “abhorrent practice” of being interrogated in court by their abusers, alongside other measures designed to raise awareness, support survivors and tackle perpetrators.

Well, I'm glad the court just decides to judicially settle that the plaintiff is a 'victim' without a presentation of evidence in support of that conclusion.

Why even bother with a trial at all? Just proceed straight to the noose.

this is why the Bill of Rights is a big deal in the USA.

and this is what is endangered when we allow the Bill of Rights to be attacked for political motivations, or worse, simply ignored.

well if the legal system didnt like it

then perhaps they shouldn't have forced so many of the alleged abusers to represent themselves because they are denied access to legal aid

ever since the reform men now only get 10$ of legal aid women get the rest.

perhaps the same courts and especially the judges should be handing out punishment to accusers and their lawyers who have manipulated the courts and wasted so much time and money( usually the legal aid that the taxpayers has to pay because the legal aid recipients will usually never have the money to pay back)

perhaps the police force should be doing their job and disclosing the evidence that have been found to be hiding so that the alleged "victims" doesn't need to be cross examined, especially now that the DPS had toreview cases from the last five years because of the number of miscarriage of justices.

perhaps the first question a judge should ask is

"did you take advice from an women activist organisation such as women aid, or refuge etc?"

so that we can tell how much is going to be wasted.

in summary the reason why the cross examination has become so horrendous is because of the number of false allegations that have arisen, the amount of damage done to peoples reputation even when they are eventually found to be innocent( looking at you jemma beale) and that mad twat of an actress who accused mark pearson of rape on a busy victoria tube station and who has a gagging order that means she cant be named( i know who it is though, but I won't name her in case it causes problems, but you can google it yourself with G.O.T. and radio series the archers).

this situation is a symptom of what happens when justice is no longer blind and due process is being removed.

No longer legal

It's still a bill (at time of publication, in January)

The bill will be published alongside government research that calculated the social and economic costs of domestic abuse as totalling more than £34,000 per individual victim, or £66bn per year. The amount was calculated by looking at the costs of protective and preventative measures, the consequences and the response by police and the wider justice system.

These costs are all caused by the system itself. IOW, decide what you'd like to be paid for your "services", and pass the blame off onto the usual scapegoat.

The vast majority of this cost (£47bn) was a result of the physical and emotional harm of domestic abuse.

Thus contradicting their own statement. Quickly, and we hope nobody notices:

It included other factors such as the cost to health services (£2.3bn), police (£1.3bn) and victim services (£724m).
