Defense attorneys do that, it’s their job to discredit eyewitness testimony and poke holes in the evidence. All of them would prefer to only have innocent clients, but someone has to defend the guilty too. Just like how it’s the prosecution’s job to demonize and bias the jury against the accused, even if they are innocent. Recent laws have been put into place which allow victims/survivors to get to sit in a separate room during cross examination to reduce the incidence of retraumatization, but we have to keep the opportunity for cross examination in some form to at least offer some hope for the falsely accused in a crime that most often takes place without DNA evidence or any proof beyond two conflicting stories whether it was a consensual interaction or not. Additionally, I understand the sentiments for calling for harsher sentences, but there is a point where diminishing marginal returns end up backfiring. Survivors of sexual trauma are often sympathetic with the perpetrator to a degree where we are unwilling to report out of fear of ruining their life, or because a drugging or dissociation or abuse have made us unsure about whether what we remember really happened when there is so much pressure to just pretend it was nothing and act like stuff can just go back to normal. In particular, the passage of sex offender public registration and notification laws are seen as permanently and perversely punitive leading to juries and victims feeling less comfortable with the idea of the perpetrator having their reputation ruined in perpetuity, the possibility of subjecting them to vigilante justice etc except in the most extreme and violent cases - it’s the ones who act friendly in some way, or who were known to us before or active in their social circles, that may be ruled innocent even if they did it because the punishment seems disproportionate. I would be fine with increasing the length of jail time and probation if Megan’s Law and the Wetterling Act were repealed, and the sex offender list was only available to law enforcement or when running a background check, not just on the internet where anyone can search for their zip code and see your face, name, offense and conviction even one 20+ years ago. Not to mention if they are ruled innocent you have just had your most painful memory dissected, invalidated and judged in a room full of people, and on top of that now there are people who believe you lied about the whole thing. Reporting takes an incredible amount of bravery and it can come off as condescending for people who haven’t had to make that decision for themselves like “just report the people who raped you and we’ll be able to solve the problem” as if the police and courts don’t make the problem even worse half the time. Sometimes the perpetrator IS a cop or pretending to be one, or otherwise treated as above reproach - who besides an exemplary few be courageous enough to report in that situation, before having months of trauma therapy? Predators seek out people they deem as without sufficient social and emotional support for just this reason. Wrote a paper on this subject which has extensive academic citations if anyone is curious enough to do more reading or if it’s relevant to the next episode. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PUiMRq9PiaklM7v6ViOl1kz4e1n05pyRB78TTrYVOg4/edit
