I’m glad that they are throwing the book at this woman.
To me these cases make me grateful for our system of justice, because while it doesn’t always work perfectly, it beats vigilante justice. Remember this the next time you hear somebody griping about “technicalities”. If it were them or one of their loved ones in jail or on the verge of having their life ruined for something they didnt do, they’re become a civil libertarian in a hurry.(I have been sexually assaulted myself BTW)
I agree that it’s sad that this stuff makes people(read men) down on marriage. But people are resilient.
Remember the daycare child abuse witch hunts of the 80s and early 90s? Recently Bob Perez, one of the people responsible for a child abuse witch hunt in WenatcheeWA died. I tried to post it on FR but as usual was not successful because FR wouldn’t accept any categories or keywords. I don’t know how anybody posts anything on here. Any way, maybe it’s for the best, because it seems that Perez still has a lot of defenders. I guess you had to know the man because to me the way he handled that Wenatchee case was an abuse of power and downright evil. I’m talking Nifong here. Dorothy Rabinowitz has written a lot about these in the Wall Street Journal.
Think twice before you ruin somebody’s life.
I worked with a girl in Montana who got prosecuted for a false domestic abuse accusation against her husband. Even her own mother wouldn’t back her up!
