Why do the courts, in rape cases, ask jurors if “they or anyone close to them” has ever been sexually assaulted-but they don’t ask if “they or anyone close to them” has ever committed a sexual assault? Rapists, but not rape victims, can be jurors in rape cases? That makes sense.

Did Depp set Heard up by getting ACLU to write the oped? It’s VERY odd the ACLU reached out to Heard in 2016 (time of divorce) AND offered to write oped AND told Amber they vetted it to prevent Depp from suing-yet Depp immediately sued. Maybe it was Depp who pledged $ to ACLU

In many states, a woman who has been sexually assaulted cannot serve as a juror in a rape trial because she’s presumed TOO biased. But a judge accused of sexual assault can serve as a justice of the Supreme Court, & make policy decisions about rape law, because he’s NOT biased?
