26. Did I say that?
No.

I believe the case should be studied by law students from now until the 22nd century, for many reasons. I don't want to throw it down the memory hole. I do, however, think it irresponsible to continually tie this woman back to the case, because it helps remind people that she, as the victim, was put on trial, and people thought it was OK.

Rape, and other forms of sexual assault, seem to be the only crimes where we question and cross-examine and try the victim more than we do the suspect.
