Justin Fairfax is not being Franken'd

118. But that is not exclusively the job of the police or prosecutor.

Their job is to uphold the law. But to also manage their limited resources to do so.

For the MA case, they cannot go on a big wild goose chase for evidence that no one has even given a hint that can be produced under these circumstances and expend substantial resources on a criminal case that has almost no chance of going anywhere. That is also their duty - put their limited resources where they have the best chances of bearing fruit - maybe rape cases from last week where they have clues, witnesses and a rape kit.

Remember that it is a "he said - she said". He said it was consensual so even if she produced a blue stained dress or video of them together that evening or can describe his genitals, it wouldn't help her. They need evidence that he forced himself on her. If she had any physical marks, those have had 14 years to heal up or could be alleged to have been caused by something else in the last 14 years. She says she told no one for 13-14 years so if she suddenly produces someone as a witness, there's immediately some doubt because she's already on the record saying she told no one.

It's pretty obvious looking for evidence of rape in this alleged consensual sex case 14 years after the fact is probably tougher than finding a needle in a haystack. The police or prosecutor will utilize their resources accordingly - as they should. If she truly was raped - as I suspect she was, I feel terrible about that but waiting 14 years before she did anything about it didn't help her situation.
