Feminism war against due process. Scottish MP doubles down on judge-only trials as Tories seek to protect juries in rape cases.

Feminists claim a lower conviction rate means victims aren’t being taken seriously and we should therefore deny men accused of rape a trial by jury. Aside from being unjust, their premise is false.

If one looks at the Scottish government website, it clearly shows and explains that as lower merit cases are pushed forward to be prosecuted, the result has been a lower conviction rate for such crimes. Ironically, but understandably, being tougher and pushing more rape cases forward results in a lower conviction rate. (Because a larger percent won’t have supporting evidence). Sexual assault convictions dropped from 73 to 56% specifically which man’s even with lower merit cases being pushed forward, over half of the accused are still found guilty, hardly the dysfunctional system feminists claim. Again, the government states this. See link.

So, not only is denying the accused a jury trial unjust, but so is the premise. The lower conviction rates aren’t a function of a jury flaw, they are a function of what cases are pushed forward for prosecution.

“Taking rape seriously” and pushing more merit less cases forward for prosecution results in a lower conviction rate. This is true of any crime, not just sexual assault.

The purpose of a multi person jury is to eliminate bias and make sure judgement is decided by the evidence. Any judge who wants to remove this due process right in order to push certain outcomes should be removed from the bench.

Time for mandatory bodycams for everyone. Bodycams that save footage onto the Cloud and are Internet time-stamped.

Scotland already has a 6 percent conviction rate for rape. If anything, that's higher than most countries. When you consider most reported rapes are false, how much higher do feminists want this rate to go?

Scotland has fallen.
