I was assigned to a unit that investigated these cases and worked closely with the local DA’s office during the investigations. When you first go to a unit like this, you believe every “victim”, but like anything else you soon learn that things aren’t always as they seem. Then you learn that some of the “victims”, if not a very significant percentage of them are lying or are being coached to achieve a certain outcome or support an agenda. In some cases, the “victims” act alone because they want to try and get rid of the mothers boyfriend, get rid of the stepdad, or get some kid in trouble because he won’t talk to her anymore.
Either way, it really doesn’t take long to find out if someone is lying.
Where does all of that lead to, many times(if not most) you’re not only trying to find out what happened and ALSO what DIDN’T happen. These units are overwhelmed with cases. And when it’s a legitimate case, it needs the resources and dedication it deserves. Those REAL cases don’t need to be short changed by a lie. Therefore, bringing in this prosecutor could be their way of letting them know that Kavanaugh’s side doesn’t just have a loudmouth liberal legal team, but someone with real life experience. Also, unless it’s just a big show, take note of how much Ford’s team is complaining about the prosecutor. Ford, et al, weren’t expecting this kind of push back, even though we all wish they’d push back some more.
Thanks for your well-informed views on this matter. Helps give us some much needed insight!
