Agreed. But it is also our system that separates the policing from the judge/jury. I still don't see what is particularly scary about the handling of this particular crime, unless you see a much higher incident of false accusations, or a conspiracy by the police to push charges when they are not warranted. I don't think either is true. I would be curious if there are more instances of overturned cases for sexual assault. That might have been true with the advent of DNA testing, but not so sure now.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
