ok i know everyone has it hard in life and that lawyer gotta earn money to feed his children or whatever BUT WTF…
Yeah its a sad reality that since the testimony of the victim might be the only available evidence, which makes it the focus of the attack for the defense. And this is typically done by undermining the survivor’s credibility and reliability, and their story’s plausibility and consistency.
Not sure if this is how it goes in SK court of law but rape cases are NOT handled like that. Victim blaming when…
Idk where you live with re-victimization does occur. Most women are treated as liars until it is proven that they are telling the truth and if it does go to court most victims are forced to relive the trauma again when they take the witness stand. During the trial, the survivors might be called liars or be accused of fabrication. In most trials, the defense has to bring doubt to the prosecution’s case. In most rape or sexual assault cases, the testimony of the victim might be the only available evidence, which makes it the focus of the attack for the defense. How is this done? It is typically done by undermining the survivor’s credibility and reliability, and their story’s plausibility and consistency. Like we saw in ep 10, the lawyer kept trying to destroy her argument and saying that since she didnt struggle then she must have liked it. Most rape cases are non-violent, yet physical injuries are used as evidence to prove that there was no consent. Survivors most of the time must deal with this while also potentially suffering from the psychological effects of experiencing sexual violence. Something ironic about this situation is that the psychological consequences of sexual violence can be what the defense uses to undermine survivors’ claims to have experienced sexual violence. i'll leave this article (link is at the bottom) which is the experience some rape victims have had with the cj system.
Unless they make a thing in the next episode about condoms being used in the ep4 scene, i doubt that little Porsche…
Yeah from what we saw, they went at it raw, not lube, prep or condoms but who knows maybe that wasnt the full scene and we might get more in the beginning of ep 5.
