In recent years, it seems the new tactic is to put the victim on trial. I can't understand how these lawyers can get away with that kind of c**p! If they want to do that, shouldn't Travis- or his family- be able to speak up for him? It's like he's being put on trial without him being able to confront his accuser. Isn't that how the law is supposed to work?
The man's family has to just sit there without being able to say a word. Even if Travis was interested in little boys, what does that have to do with someone on trial for murdering him? It doesn't make him less dead, or her less of a murderer.
I guess the defense is now trying to show that it was Travis' own fault that Jodi slaughtered him. Or maybe that he deserved to die because he was supposedly a 'deviant'.
We need an entire re-do of our IN-justice system because these days the victim is put on trial, and the actual murderer can make up any excuse imaginable (or not).
I've been watching "Lockup-RAW" lately, and it's beyond belief how much we taxpayers are paying to house and care for all these criminals. It really makes me sick. :furious:
