Re: Tough love.
Well, although I detest and abhor evil crimes against children, you have stronger self convictions than myself.
Very often in horrific cases of abuse there is no physical evidence. Just the testament of the victim, if they are old enough to be questioned.
One of the most troubling days of my life was when, as forman of a jury, I had to stand and give a majority verdict, when I was more than sure the woman was innocent, but the rest of my fellow jurors didn't. Mainly based on irrational prejudice against the accused, rather than any actual evidence we'd heard.
I could never convict someone to die, because only being human, mistakes will happe and buried.
