Rape Crisis is calling for a
change in the court system when it comes to rape cases, after the not guilty
verdicts in the police indecent assault trial in Auckland. The group's director of rape
prevention and education Dr Kim McGregor says the complainant in this case
will be shattered by the result, after effectively having been put on trial
herself. She says there has to be a change from the adversarial system that
pits one person against another in terms of their credibility. She wants that
changed to an inquisitorial form where both parties must answer questions in
court. |
