Seriously ! I was thinking the same thing. You’d think the fact that he has been convicted a few (I think) times would be enough to get her out of having to answer his vengeful, pathetic, and stupid-ass questions face to face. Can't they do a remote questioning like they do for children? Where the victim is in another

Just wanted to concur that that book is fucking fantastic. Everyone should read it.

You should. It’s known for romantic and stalking relationships but it’s also about workplace violence and roommates as well as how to assess strangers’ intentions. When I interview people for jobs, I got my list of questions right out of the book.

so true. with all the means she has to fight it.

Absolutely. I’m not saying that the accused shouldn’t be able to face their accuser, but they shouldn’t be the ones personally interrogating them in front of a jury and courtroom filled with people. That is psychological warfare. It’s so unbelievably fucky and sick.

The legal system is set up in such a way that they are obliged to be complicit in this continuing crime.

That’s really what it seems like. I never got to press charges against those who hurt me because it wasn’t taken seriously. Had I been able to and the person acted as their own attorney, I likely would have dropped them or not testified because I wouldn’t have been able to deal with facing them like that in court.

I don’t even have anything funny to say. This is happening because the law does not care about women, their safety or their comfort.

trial #1: mistrial because of an ill jurror
trial #2: the jury couldn’t decide on a verdict
trial #3: here we are......

Because women don’t deserve justice, of course.

Of course.

I don't know about the rest of us. This is scary.

Can I go with you?

This is pure harassment that she has to continue answering questions by him. How is he able to keep doing this to her?

There are times when you realize that it’s easier to just catapult yourself.

You are not the one who should go. But that eject button might come in handy.

This is happening to a rich, famous, successful woman. It has been happening to her for years and she is still fighting it in court.

This is so fucking awful. How terrible for her to have to go through.

why is this possibly happening? I cannot figure out how this has gone this far when he’s already in jail?!
