COMPILATION OF FACTS AND DECISIONS FROM FOUR ACTUAL COURT CASES TRIED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Abstract
THIS TRUE-TO-LIFE, FICTIONALIZED ACCOUNT DOCUMENTS THE WAYS IN WHICH THE LEGAL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED STATES TEND TO PLACE THE BURDEN OF GUILT ON THE VICTIM, RATHER THAN ON THE ACCUSED. THIS BOOK TRACES THE ENTIRE LEGAL AND JUDICIAL PROCESS FROM THE REPORTING OF THE RAPE TO THE POLICE TO THE HANDING DOWN OF THE 'NOT GUILTY' VERDICT IN COURT.
