The legal system

David Eldridge, via his very entertaining blog, drew my attention to this piece by Abi Grant.

It describes the painful and horrific process of trying to gain a convinction for rape.

It’s an important piece to read, I think, as I didn’t really have any idea about how the process would work and how difficult it all is.

She ends:

But as business seems to be the lingua franca of the government, I’d point out to John Reid that if the English legal system was a company, it wouldn’t just go bankrupt, its customer base would burn it to the ground. Now, when I look at that one-in-20 statistic I’m not appalled, I’m amazed. Wow, that high?
