One thing people always miss is that they think the Justice system is about getting justice for the victim of crime. In the trial portion of the system it is not about Justice for the victim. It is about adjudicating the guilt or innocence of the accused and has nothing to do with the victim. This process is tilted in favour of the accused.
I understand that is painful for the victim but like the many sexual assault cases that don't result in a conviction the system is designed to protect the innocent at the expense of letting the guilty free.
