Does it make you crazy that people are generally believed when they make a burglary claim? Probably not if you're like most people. They aren't told they must have wrecked their own homes and disposed of their own belongings and lied about it. There are documented cases of just about every crazy thing under the sun, including false burglary claims. People even burn their own houses down for insurance money. But rape victims are alone in being treated as potential perps. ETA: after reading other replies by you in this thread. Where are you getting the idea that triasl by jury for rape have been removed? Because they haven't. Are you talking about in college? Colleges have never had juries.
