Charlie Bezzina’s our man and Sly – listen to their opinions much of the time. They get it and they speak it. Retired detective spoke via Sly on 3AW recently. He spoke of police frustration that they put manhours into investigations only to be frustrated by the lenient sentencing of Magistrates/Judges at Court. He said in the case of sexual crimes it had been reduced to a game of the alleged perpetrator’s word against the victim’s word!!! He advocated that there had to be a better way.IMO there is a disregard for the Oath/Affirmation as perjury had to be proved which means more manhours proving it.Discrediting the victim is a wrong approach in defending the perpetrator. This discrediting of the victim has to go!!! Few thoughts for a Sunday evening.
