Wow, well I'm so sorry for your terrible experience. In your case it sounds like there was plenty of proof for suspicion and lot's of effort to bury it all, rather than address it. I am sorry.

In this particular case I only read that a woman "said" a man did something after she had shot him dead.

Based on your experience I think you're reading in a presumption of guilt, and based on my lack of any personal experience in this I think I'm reading in a presumption of innocence, or at least a right to trial.

I do understand the part about how the predator will spread to victim after victim. I read about one mother who sat in her car in her garage with her little daughter until they were both dead because she knew if she ran off with the daughter to protect her from the molesting ex-husband, and got caught later,then the ex-husband would get custody.

It's painful and difficult. But I'm not going to support just gunning people down as the standard way of doing things because then anyone can start killing legally for other reasons they can think of. It's human nature.

Dear God.
What a choice to make.

There's always someone worse off than you are, I reckon.
