First of all, "eye-witness testimony" is different from victim testimony. This isn't someone seeing him rape a 14 year old. It's a 14 year old saying that he raped her. I totally believe you previously did not understand the difference between someone saying "I saw a red car on this day 30 years ago" and "a guy raped me 30 years ago," but nevertheless.
Also, just because you put it into quotation marks (well, in apostrophes, the quotation marks for grammatical illiterates) doesn't change the absolute legal fact that it is evidence .
Once again, just look at Federal Rules of Evidence 701, 602, and 608.
Its 'evidence' because reguardless of it being eye-witness or victim-witness, witness testimony is the most unreliable form of evidence. Period.
There's so many examples of witnesses making mistakes, from identification of a perpetrator, to order of events, and times/locations. Those mistakes are common with witnesses making statements within minutes to hours of a crime, and statements made of a crime that happened more than a week before are considered very questionable in reliability.
Now take that information, and seriously consider the reliability of an event that took place nearly four decades ago when the witness was barely a teenager, upwards of 2000 weeks ago.
You seriously think that's reliable victim testimony?
In terms of evidentiary value? Of course not.
Your level of expectation is unrealistic for crimes committed decades ago. Hell, even if by some miracle some 30 year-old semen-soaked little kids panties were produced, even DNA evidence isn't 100 percent. Even if we could bring down God Almighty himself to rule on the issue, you probably wouldn't be convinced. Because, let's be honest: you're a partisan and a
phile apologist.
No, I am actually open to being convinced, which I've said many times.
And this is where leftists get their rocks off, saying if you don't support leftist causes you're a bad person.
"If you don't support the repeal of the 2nd Amendment, you like people getting murdered."
"If you don't support open borders, you're a racist that hates immigrants."
"If you don't like raising taxes on the rich, you hate the poor."
"If you support Roy Moore, you're a
phile apologist."
Yeah, that's convincing.
And it's very rich you're accusing someone else of partisanship.
lol how old are you?
Although I do like the idea of you maintaining a rankings list of all the posters who have made you look foolish, I somehow doubt your opinion of me is going to carry much weight here or anywhere else.
Actually, you're right.
You were a joke before that post, and you still are a joke.
So, keep on posting and keeping the laughs coming.
