Illinois adopts stripper tax to fund rape crisis centers
- Thread starter ly2 from WF

The measure was one of three laws Quinn signed Saturday that are designed to provide greater protection for women against sexual assault and domestic violence.
a place you can go to when youve been raped protects against rape.
The third law allows prosecutors to use prior domestic violence offenses to support their arguments in first- and second-degree murder cases involving domestic violence.
because fuck evidence. lets just find someone who seems plausible.

lol evidence lol
The prosecutors can normally find a way to get shit like that in front of the jury anyway. You'd be surprised at some of the dirty shit I've seen them do. And since in the US prosecutors have what's called "absolute immunity" they can even break the law in the process of presenting a case and can not be charged for it. Normally your only recourse is getting a new trial on appeal after sitting in prison for a couple of years and the odds of that being successful are remote.
So yeah evidence is nice and all, but in the absence of that they just find a plausible suspect and make it work. That law just codifies what they already get away with. Go Murka!!!1!1!!
Heh, it could be worse. You could be in Russia, where "due process" means:
"We arrest you, and the next step in the process is the judge decides how long you go to prison for."
