[quote=Anonymous]Look, generally speaking, yes, it's wrong to even attempt to undermine the character of a 12-year-old girl who was raped. But I see defense attorneys as an exception to that general rule, because our entire criminal legal system only works if the defendants are afforded a zealous advocate who fights tooth and nail for their clients -- innocent or guilty. It's the only way we can hope to ensure that those found guilty are in fact guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Laws that stated that a rape victim's character was relevant in a rape charge were wrong, and it's right that they were changed. But while they were on the books, I would expect nothing less of a defense attorney to use what was available to represent her client well. [/quote]
