Ah CCJ logic:

There is no murder victim until the justice system tries and convicts an offender.

There is no robbery victim until the justice system tries and convicts an offender.

There is no rape victim until the justice system tries and convicts an offender.

He has a warped sense of logic there.

Convicting an offender has nothing to do with whether a person is a victim of the crime. They are separate and distinct legal issues.

A person can be raped, and the accused can avoid rape conviction any number of ways: failure to indict; indictment but plea deal on lesser charges; indictment, but trial finds not guilty (which as I don’t have to remind you is not the same as innocent).

But this is CCJ, and facts and logic are meaningless.

But you’re obviously guilty of libel is you say something truthful that hurts his feelings.
