UK: Specialist rape courts will be set up to boost speed and quantity of cases going to trial. OP: Throwing justice and legal rights "out of the window" to increase convictions.

But there were just 1,557 rape prosecutions in the 12-month period for 2020-21, down from 4,643 for 2015-16.

Because to prosecute 4643 cases a year they were withholding exonerating evidence and railroading innocent men. Men held in jail for years or that paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees had their cases dropped the day before trial when they refused to plead guilty and their lawyers were presented with additional evidence that cleared them the police had in their possession the whole time. Scotland Yard had to reinvestigate cases of already convicted men. The head of CPS was forced to step down. She was the only head of CPS in over a century to not get an award from the royal family for her service. It was a scandal. But that's what feminists are trying to return to.

This will compel cases with weak evidence to be pushed through and prosecuted. Innocents will end up sentenced to prison even moreso than already happens.

Kangaroo courts with pre-recorded testimony and no chance for due process and cross examination. This is what US feminists are softening college students up for. Expanding college kangaroo rape tribunals to the general public.

It boggles my mind that we’ve reached a point that denying the accused proper due process is being sold as a good thing.

It’s also problematic when we start trying different cases by different standards.

They are hoping to increase annual convictions by speeding up number of trials. It still won't work. The low conviction rate is not because of less prosecution rate, it's because there are too many incentives to falsely accuse someone.

Currently, CPS don't prosecute baseless accusations because these accusations never lead to conviction so they pass only those cases which have some ground. CPS pays £44,000 just for filing the police report of rape without requiring any evidence. You can buy a luxury car with that money. If you act very good, court cannot prosecute you for prejury unless you admit it that you lied. CPS knows about this free money scam but they won't do anything to address it because CPS gets to keep its statistics high in exchange for a little loss of money to liars.

Quantity not quality. They want to lynch men all day and night long.

Ah, the Spanish maneuver.

TitanicPat · 2022-06-16T15:51:23+00:00

1.3 percent of 67,125 rape offences recorded by police lead to prosecution

(I'm sure there's nothing to question about the "rape offences" category there...)

Low proportions of a men's issue is proof that nothing needs to be done. but low proportions of a women's issue is somehow proof that more needs to be done.

Sounds like protected class bullshit to me.

More convictions -> more identified cases of sexual assault -> more hysteria about "the war on women" -> more ideologically driven legal actions -> around and around it goes.

DavidByron2 · 2022-06-16T19:31:01+00:00

This is why you need to vote "not guilty" in rape cases. They aren't part of the justice system any more. They're propaganda vehicles. You may not see all the information that would help to establish innocence because that would be politically inconvenient.

JohnTerricone · 2022-06-16T08:59:56+00:00

Rape trials can take years and many people just drop the charges so they can move on with their life without thinking about their victimization.

This will speed those things up so that more rapists will actually get trials to determine innocent or guilt. That's a huge win for men. They will have a faster trial and not go through years of not knowing.

It's also a win for women who wont have to prolong their victimization when they were raped.

pumpkinpeopleunite · 2022-06-16T12:53:40+00:00

I don't understand how you can read this article and come to the conclusion that they are planning on: "throwing justice and legal rights 'out of the window' to increase convictions"? Do actually have anything to back up your assertion?

DirtyPartyMan · 2022-06-16T17:23:49+00:00

And it makes absolute sense if Men are viewed as a monetary resource by the state.

States have Contracts with Private Prison systems. Those contracts assure a certain level of expected generated income from products (you) per contract. Why else are minor Pot offenders still serving sentences in states where recreational use is legal?

Gentlemen…..we are products. We are revenue generators. There is little to no fairness in the courts for Men.
