5.16 I believe that the rap victims should testify against their attackers in court. I wouldn't believe that it is harsh to force the victims to talk about their attack. If you think about it, if the victim testifies against that accused they can put him/her away so then not only he/she feels safe but then so do others. Every lawyer has a different way of questioning the victim, some can get more answers then the other. Not different, but if the person was rape, then I think that they should be able to get a consular to talk to. That could help have he/she get me comfortable talking about the incident in court.

5.10 I don't believe that they should be forced to testify against their attackers but I do believe that they should testify whether or not they're made to. It would help them because without testifying, details of what happened won't be brought up, and those details are important to the case. It will also make it fair for the accuser who may or may not actually be guilty. If you keep the victim from testifying then it might make the results unfair to both the victim and accuser. I don't think the rape victims should be treated differently because of the nature of the crime because you shouldn't let what happened get in the way of the case and evidence.

5.1: Rape victims should testify but they shouldn't be forced to do so, because of the things that they went through when it happened. Keeping the rape victim from testifying is wrong because they want to tell their story and let everyone know what happened. Yes, if the victim is not able to tell what happened and after time more things could be found out by what the victim says. Yes and no, yes because of the pain they went through. No, because they are same as everyone else (this could happen to anybody).

Rape victims should testify? I say he or she need to testify against the person who rape his/ her brings them to justice. This is due to the fact that we need to know who did it and when it happen.

5.10- 5.1, I agree with you. Rape victims should testify but I don't believe they should be made to do so.

I think that it should be the victim's choice! i mean if you were hurt and you didn't want to tell anyone, would you? If they want to talk about it then they will help everyone out.

5.1 I agree with you as well. If the victim does have to testify I think he/she still should.

I think that the rape victims should testify. I understand that the victim would have ups and downs but what if they prove inocent what if they rape your kid after they were proven inocent. Then the rough road you have to go down just got harder because you know that the man that had his way with the victim is still out there and he knows who you are.Then if you dont put him away in jail then hes going to come back because of what you tried to do.

I think that rape victims should testify against their attackers in court. The reason I think this is because they can talk about how they suffered and they get to send the raper to jail or something they are of use for. Keeping them from testifying their right would be stupid because then they don't get evidence and that show's the raper he could keep on doing what he want's to other girls. Shielding them from defense cross-examinaton prevent crucial details from coming to questioning. Questioning these victims crates more problems because sometimes they now the truth and they won't say it. I think that rape victims should be treated with a little more careful with them because they are trying to forget the problem. This is a natural crime but no one want's to stop it!

5.11 I think that if you are hurt then you should talk about it. It might be bad again, but it is just a memory.

I think that rape victims should testify against their attackers in court. I don't think that it is cruel to have them relive to trauma because they can tell how bad it is and get their attackers in trouble. It is unfair for the accuser for the victim not to testify because they may have not done it. The victim should not be treated differently because they may be lying. So I think that it is only fair for the victim to testify.

no because they will just lie.1 some ppl may not learn.2 sometimes they get convicted.3 and if they dont they will go after the same person again and again.4 then they will finally get caught.5

5.1 to 5.16: They shouldn't because of what they went through.

5.10 I agree with 5.16. Even though it's a bad memory, you should talk about it. Especially if your evidence would help the case.

5.26 I don't think rape victims should testified because then they will agree with her because they hate the other color people. And so that way they can get money from Tom. And then so that way the rape victim can make sure Tom dies in jail where they think he should belong by giving tum money to keep him in jail.

I kinda agree with you because if they don't want to do this then they made their choice. It also depends if they want people to start caring for rape offenders.

5.27 Yes I think that rape victims should be forced to testify. I think this because we would get more information about the rape.Also, I believe that more people would confess to there case, and freeze up and be confused on what is the right or wrong thing to say.last,They should be forced to testify so that we could get a better understanding of what really happened and find out who is really lying.This is the reasons why I believe rape victims should be forced to testify.

5.5 Yes rape victims should testify against there attackers. No it is not cruel to force these victims to revile the trauma they suffered.They should'nt keep them from testifying because that is denying them the right to confront their accusers.Sheilding them from defense is cross-examination. Sheilding the victims from questioning can be unfair to the person being accused as well because they are not able to hear what the other person is saying like if there telling the truth or not.The rape victim should be treated differently because they never know if there telling the truth Or lying.

Yes but also 5.1 you need to remember that even the smallest things including the VICTIM can help the case even if he/she just says on sentence. Anything and everything can help a case.

Rape is a serious crime and the victims that have to go through that is more important. I believe that victims should tell authorities and if they can testify they can put that [person in jail. In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" Mayella Ewell has to testify against the suspected offender and it seemed cruel that she had to do that. But now the victim has a choice to testify. I believe that if the victim is willing to testify the court can have more information to put the accuser in jail longer. If the victim is not telling the truth it hard for the court to decide and that person who said they got raped could get in a lot of trouble. If the victim is being shielded it not fair for the accuser because the so called victim has more advantage to win than the accuser. In the novel Mayella seem to have more lies than a true statement, this is not fair for Tom R.. If this crime is taken to court than both should be treated the same because the law says that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

i believe that rape victims should testify against the person accused to rape. It would only be fair for the person accusaed of raping to have all stories. the jury needs to have all sides of the story to make an accurate decision. I believe that the person accused of rapeing should be sentenced to half their life in prison. thias is because rape to me is half as bad as killing someone.

I think the rape victims should testify because what if the rapist is let free the rapist could come for the person they raped.

I think they should be able to say if they did it or not because what if they really didn't do it then they will get thrown in jail for something they didn't do. they person who got rapped should be able to put their say in it to show how much they were wrong to do it to them.

5.13- I believe that rape victims should testify against their attackers in court. They shouldn't keep the fact that they have been raped hidden. I think it is very cruel to make them just forget about what happened instead of just telling the police. They should be able to tell the court who did it. Also tell the person who did it that you will never respect them and never forgive them again. Keeping the victims from questioning the attacker could cause danger in the future because it could get worse and they won't understand. Rape victims should be treated differently because now they are more conscience about what goes on in the real world.

In my opinion I think that rape victims should always be able to testify against their attackers. I think that it is there choice for these victims to relive the trauma they suffered, It is cruel to make them forget something they don't want to. By keeping them from testifying I think its not right because they deserve to confront their attackers. But I also have another side because the accused attackers are not always guilty.

I think everyone should have the right to have a say. Hateful comment should be kept to them self. No i don’t think they should be able to say whatever they want because some people are really rude and they will make raises comments. If they keep ignorance going it will just keep going and everyone will think it is okay to be raises. By stopping the ignorance is if they cant keep their comments then self then they should punished.
