I don't know the details of the deVos changes to sexual assault guidelines, but...

... I've never been happy with the idea that a real crime (sexual assault) should be dealt with by untrained amateurs. It's a crime. Call the police. Why not? To deprive the accused of their constitutional rights? That's obviously not the motivation, but as far as I can see, it's the result. Like I said, I'm not advocating for the deVos approach. I just don't know enough about it.

What do you all think?

I understand that rape victims don't always get the best treatment in the criminal justice system, but Due Process is a necessity for anyone accused of a crime.
