re: #217 Spare O’Lake

It’s a really cheap lawyer’s trick and should have been objected to and ruled out of order. Reminds me of Johnny Cochrane’s (successful) gambit with the glove.
BTW, your stated certainty that all of us have had female friends who were raped is very striking. Maybe I have lived a sheltered life, and I don’t know where you are from, but that seems kind of extreme to me.

Unfortunately it’s not really. Approximately one in three woman have had some sort of sexual assault occur to them in their lifetime. So maybe not to the extreme of rape but it’s more then likely that you know a very many woman who have had something happen to them.

You just don’t hear about it because it’s just not something that people bring up. I’ve even been shocked at the number of instances that people bring up when a group of woman get together and really start talking about it.
