Reply #30: You have a very curious interpretation of our justice system [View All]

as well the "hate" that rape victims "carry" around with them (?) I guessing, from the posts above, that you've never been raped, so I know you're not speaking from personal experience.

You don't know how I came to the conclusion that prosecutors in criminal proceedings don't represent the victim, but rather the community in which they have jurisdiction? Well, I watched a couple episodes of Law & Order and...oh yeah, I took a basic civics lesson in 5th grade.

Now, you would have a point if the victim was persuing a civil suit against her rapist. I would support any action she would take against this criminal who, 20 years after his attack, now has a conscience. But, that would be up to her.

But please be clear about the distinction between criminal and civil proceedings.
