The accused have a right to face their accuser. Its in the Constitution..Oh, and its not just women who have that right, its everybody.
Of course, but it's fools like him that put that right in danger. He should keep his mouth shut and not make such inflammatory remarks, which only damage the important presumption of innocence that all accused should enjoy.
Face the accuser, certainly. When liberty is at stake, we all need that protection. Fagan, however, went way over the top. He was drooling at the prospect of being able, not to just defend his client, but to destroy the life of a child. That arrogant SOB has no business being around children.
the victims have rights too...
the victims have rights too...
Yeah, and these slime buckets count on that loophole when choosing a helpless child for their victim. Ha ha, I can do whatever I want to you, because you'll be a basket case afterwards and I'll skate because your mommy and daddy won't let you testify because they know my lawyer will mess up your head even worse than I did.
Children have a right to blow the whistle on their attackers and to have adults handle the prosecution. Videotaped testimony from the child, physical evidence, and testimony from adults who have witnessed relevant events and behaviors before, during, and after the crime, is plenty.
