Reply #14: I interpret it differently

When Dean talks about something being heinous, it was that the man got off because the witness refused to testify. I don't think he was denying that the man had a right to appeal and win another trial. What needs to be done in cases of rape, imho, is for testimony to be taped so that if, for some reason, another trial is called, the witness doesn't have to go through it all again. If there are objections from the defense, written questions/answers could be submitted to the jury.
