manny4life:Why the exception to rape' charges? You're right. A judge can take administrative action against a juror or jurors that is compromised. The penalty differs from state to state. |

CFCfan: Rape cases barely have any shred physical evidence unless of course a minor or assault is involved, other than that, it's self testimony, hearsay, or fake witnessing. Rape is somewhat difficult to prove because a defending party has to prove it's consensual, though aggression may be part of intimacy gone wrong and the prosecutor has to prove otherwise. Also, to even think a lot of emotional trauma is involved (if it did happen), finding someone guilty or acquitting a charge is not very easy. I believe only a judge should have the sole discretionary power, and at his/her will based upon rule of evidence to make a determination IF rape is involved. No emotions, strictly facts. |

manny4life: You've got some salient points; but don't you think the statute of limitations work in rape cases? |
