The Stanford Rape Case

She makes alot of really good arguements.

The fact is, is that most people on a jury have no fucking clue as to the difference between poponderence of the evidence, and beyond a reasonable doubt.

I whole heartedly oppose the jury system, putting such choices in the hands of people without the qualifications or proper legal training is obscene.

Dr. Fiamengo is amazing.

I wonder if, beneath the public posturing about this case and the public need to overcompensate for the victim's drunkenness by over-demonization of Turner, people are subconsciously understanding the nature of the problem of modern rape.

Janice's husband's reaction ("was that all that happened") is likely the reaction many if not most people had to it. Yes it is horrible and disgusting, but it is a far cry from the image that most people have when they hear the word 'rape'.

I always assume that horrible rapes take place today, but I am left wondering why we keep hearing about minor cases like this, where the victim's threat to her own life was greater than the threat from her attacker (she could've died being that drunk), or from cases that wind up being hoaxes.

When women's groups publicize rape cases as talking points, they dig back 20 years for shockingly horrific cases.

Why is it that this case is getting the publicity? Is there no worse example to put out there? I want to think that there is, but why wouldn't that become the cause celebre for rape culture?
