It's been argued that once a judgment is rendered, nothing else matters. That's it. Period. End of story. This is just one example of how untrue that is and the effects of the media and the underinformed on our reality. The impact is huge and it's damaging. Sexual assault and rape are not to be taken lightly, nor are they words we should throw around as easily as they have been. It's a serious crime with serious consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom. It is incumbent upon us to convict, be it personally or legally, with an open and objective mind, for the sake of would be-victims. The Stanford rape case is a glowing example of how we fail. This is not helpful at all, especially to the victim in this case.
