The Ropati Case.

[somatik]

A word from the defence:

Mr Gotlieb told the Herald that in the 38 years he had been working on rape trials he had seen the law go "so anti-male it's not funny".

"We've got so bloody PC," he said.

During the trial he asked whether men would have to "take a Breathalyser" out with them.

"That's how stupid we've got." [Ropati lawyer hits at police

i haven't been paying much attention to the media lately, especially that case.

Fucking hell....

Well if, by "so anti-male" he means the law has progressed to also favour those who aren't male, then yes, he might just be onto something.

Since starting law school, I have a new immense respect for "law". It's the idiots with law degrees and obviously very clever law clerks who pevert it.

And the Herald. I blame the Herald for a lot of things.

Sloppy fucking herald spin if I've ever seen it. Maybe if he had used a knife and it was in Manurewa they'd take difference stance on it. Ugh...disgusting.
