MISUNDERSTANDING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM -Why Nova Scotia woman regrets reporting sexual assault
This is just another example of someone who fundamentally misunderstands the purpose and functioning of the criminal justice system and as a result has unrealistic expectations of the process. “There is a common misperception that the Crown is the victim’s lawyer. Not so. The Crown represents the public interest and his or job is to present the evidence fairly.” “If she had, (understood) she would have sought the help she needed rather than getting the authorities involved.”
