You're right. Not like this is a good forum to express an opinion about them. What was I (or the people in the comments on the other links) thinking?

Same here, I just resorted to using some cheap Sennheiser over-the-ear headphones.

This is one of the aspects where it may be valuable to distinguish between “date rape” and “rape” (whereas usually I’m the person going, “don’t call it date rape like it’s somehow different! It’s still immoral and illegal!”) But you’re right- the approach in educating and rehabilitating rapists would be different…
Sorry guys, but I gotta speak out here: the last time these went on sale you convinced me to buy them and they SUCK. I'm all for inexpensive, but no matter what combination of earhooks/plugs you use they Fall out of your ears, and two nights ago mine stopped accepting a charge for some reason. Save the twenty bucks.…

But what makes a "solid" case? Generally, in sexual assault cases, that means DNA evidence - like in the rape backlog situation. And multiple people have proposed allowing equitable tolling for those cases - because the lag time is not any fault of the victim, but due to the foot dragging of the state. SOLs are…
The only strong correlation I’ve ever heard of is with age. That is, the older the prisoner on release, the lower the recidivism rate— leading to the argument that the real purpose of a conviction is to get felons off the streets until they age enough to be less clueless.
Statutes of limitations are good and an important tool in preventing wrongful conviction.
I’m inherently cautious of the “believe them” rhetoric because we, as a nation, did that once before, back in the 80s with child molestation cases - “a child would not lie about this, believe them.” And it led to ruined lives, unjust convictions and a ton of messes. It became seen as offensive to question a victim’s…
I would imagine less likely for acquaintance rapes. But for home invasion type rapes (like the East Area Rapist), I would imagine the chances would be better (i.e., there’s little dispute a crime occurred but it’s a matter of finding the guy through DNA). Most of the evidence in the East Area Rapist case was thrown…
Before I go further with what I’m about to say, I need 3 things to be understood.
I'm...not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, it recognizes the particular challenges of prosecuting sexual assault. On the other hand, the rep from the ACLU is very correct. After a long period of time, the case would essentially hinge on testimony. And here's the thing - testimony isn't exactly the greatest…
And what are the chances of successfully prosecuting a rape case after 10 years?
Right — the Hollywood version of “outcast” is some sullen supermodel in flat shoes and chunky glasses. Bitches pleeze.
I’m so confused by this. It seems to be completely missing the point of the movie.
“The outcasts are the ones in charge.”
Hah... who in Russia isn’t?
Her since-terminated contract with Fox News as $800K/year- so, even accounting for extra cash for putting up with bullshit, she got like 10-15 years of salary. Ailes’ contract totaled more than $20M/year, and was renewed for 4 years in 2015- so they paid him about half of his remaining contract.
Maybe there’s other consequences that we aren’t privy to? Apparently she has irrefutable evidence of his harassment and could’ve murdered him and Fox in court, so it’s not like she wasn’t able to refuse if the terms weren’t satisfactory.
