re: #108 Dark_Falcon

The fault was not with the law, it was with police who were more interesting in their town high school football team winning games than in solving a rape case.

I don’t think you are following my train of thought. Law Enforcement failed to do it’s job - in regards to a violent crime (committed against a MINOR!).

Someone corrected that-but had to break the law (in a non-violent manner) in order to do so. This led to a prosecution and conviction of two criminals.

Should the person be granted immunity for that particular non-violent crime? Meaning that they cannot be prosecuted for that crime nor can it be used to investigate or substantiate other similar non-violent crimes he may have committed. (This may be at the Judges discretion already, I don’t know)

It’s also important to note that this prosecution highlighted a very important flaw in our system —from education to law enforcement in a way that can be documented, and studied. It will help other survivors find justice and remove other violent offenders from society simply because it brought awareness to the national level.

Really, when you think about it whistleblowers in government may have to break laws of confidentility and national security to expose crime—no?

Welcome to the Brave New World!
