The defense attorneys know her name. The only people who are supposed to be prevented access to her name and personal information are the public.
An accuser is merely that. The trial will establish victimhood, or not.
I'm glad to know at least one of you Laker fans is honest enough to admit the young lady is on trial.
I hate the Lakers.
Of course the complainant is on trial. How could it be otherwise?
The factfinder (a jury, in all probability) is instructed to presume the defendant innocent. Absent mistaken identity, therefore, the complainant must be presumed to be lying.
The state has the burden to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the complainant is not lying.
The defense must therefore defend the proposition that the presumption of the law-that the prisoner is innocent and that the complainant is therefore lying-is true.
How could it be otherwise?
