I think the problem is that there doesn't seem to be much firm evidence required for a conviction.
It is horrible horrible horrible that sex offenders can get away with it simply because it happens with no witnesses usually, but just as vile that innocent people can easily be convicted BECAUSE of the relaxed standard for evidence.
I have no idea if Harvey Weinstein is a rapist or just a creep. I don't know if the girls were victims or chancers, because the procedure is too vague for me to be able to accept the verdict.
I think Honey nails it here. |

So Honey, at what age would you allow OAPs - convicted of very serious crimes (rape, murder, treason etc.) off - scott free?

People age at different rates and have different health challenges. A hundred years old would be a waste of time though, don't you think? |

Incidentally, JK, I would agree about Hitchcock. If, by some freak of genetics or nature, he was still alive today, he'd either be in the middle of various trials, or in prison. There is a case in England recently where a 100 year old was convicted of historic sex crimes.
I dont like the idea of very elderly people being convicted of ancient crimes because it can only be about punishment not rehabilitation.
And of course, they might have already rehabilitated themselves. |
