Judge rules that the words "rape", "victim" and "sexual assault" can't be used in... a rape case.

God forbid the jury actually be apprised of the accusations.

Quote:
Judge Jeffre Cheuvront has barred any references to sexual assault over concern about inflammatory statements that might prejudice the jury. On Monday, Bowen and her attorney informed the judge that they would not sign the order agreeing not to use banned terms during courtroom testimony.


Quote:
The trial could start as early as Thursday afternoon, lawyers told KETV NewsWatch 7. Bowen said she hopes the issue over words gets settled before she's called to testify.

"It's my free speech. I would go to jail for it. And I'm not afraid of that. What's unfortunate is I would have served more time than the defendant," Bown said.


While I'd argue that free speed isn't the issue here, this is still high on the Stupid Rulings list.

I can somewhat understand judges disallowing graphic pictures of murder victims as unnecessarily inflammatory. But to disallow the use of the name of the charged crime?

What are they going to say instead?

He forced his **** into my pussy without my consent.

My pussy is the one that was stuffed with uninvited man dick.

He rubbed his balls in my face and came in my hair.

Pretty stupid.

I think the judge just wants to get his kicks by hearing things like "He rubbed his **** on my ********."

If they're not allowed to use the phrase "he left marks", she might as well pack her bags now

Unless the implication is that he paid her with outdated German currency.

I'd agree, but only if the Defense couldn't use the words "is", "the", or "consent".

I dunno, I think "he forcibly used my body for his personal satisfaction while making me fear for my life" definitly sounds less inflamitory than rape. And it doesn't break the judges ruling.

If you're a victorian virgin, possibly.

However, it's still beyond ludicrous that no one except the bailiff is going to be allowed to pronounce the charged felonies aloud during the trial.

No, no, victorian. "He ruined me by not having a sufficiently large estate"

Christ, you're optimistic that people will make that leap.

I was picturing Joph holding a picture of his bride-to-be's hairy back.

Peruvian FTW!

Interesting, but really beside the point, which is that the word "rape" can't be used in a case where the charge is rape.

The last time was when a Judge wouldn't sentence a pedophile to prison because he was too short and would have a rough time in jail. Trying to find the article but not having much luck.

Oh dear god tell me why Pedo is blocked and more importantly, why only pedo is blocked and not pedophile ?

And wtf? I would think the odds of a bad thing happening to a pedophile in jail would be all the more reason to send him there.

Call it aversion therapy
