Due process win: Washington Supreme Court rules burden of proof lies on accuser

CellularPeptideCake · 2014-11-01T21:34:04+00:00

Remember: 3/9 Judges on the Washington State Supreme Court supported placing the burden of proof on the accused. 3/9 of the most important judicial officials in the state supported the following...

"I say you committed a crime. Now prove you didn't."

3/9

who are these people they interviewed? they seem furious that the burden of proof be on the prosecution. that's how it has been for every single crime, ever

Its insane that this is considered a victory, it really should be obvious by 2014

Justices writing for the dissent claimed the decision would lead to sex offenders going free.

What a bizarre statement. How is that different from any other kind of offender going free because of due process?

Why is it with every criminal law, the accuser must prove they were victimized... except when it comes to rape? There are innocent men being exonerated almost everyday for false allegations, when are we going to wake up?

A small but important victory for justice.

So, you can say someone raped you when really you asked for the fucking, but they can't prove they got consent. Thats what i got, hopefully I'm wrong
