I’m going to go against the trend and remain opposed to these liberalized time frames for prosecution. What Gov Wolf and Democrats want allowed is for people well into adulthood (over 50 years old) to suddenly decide to press charges for something that happened 35+ years ago.
Criminal episodes need closure. That’s why limitation statutes logically exist. They help prevent prosecutions of convenience, revenge, or for personal gain solely. Memory is greatly impaired regarding incidences so far in the past that evidence is sketchy at best.
Regardless, the real purpose in this is to attack the Catholic Church. And I’m not even Catholic.
I agree entirely. This is an attack on the church. They want to paint good as evil and evil good
“Memory is greatly impaired regarding incidences so far in the past that evidence is sketchy at best.”
...and then try defending yourself against the charges. Not everyone kept a day-to-day diary of their lives like Kavenaugh did, and he still barely survived the Left.
I agree with murder due to the permanence of the crime, and the fact that people (mostly) won’t get charged, much less convicted, on one person’s ‘repressed’ memory somehow ‘coming alive’.
Also - to attack Conservative candidates, nominees, judges, and the people who help them.
