I'm sorry, it didn't register with me that he was already convicted and this is a technicality to appeal the decision. That's ashame. I don't live in California, otherwise I might attend out of curiosity and to show support to the victim.
What is it you require before you, or anyone for that matter, gets off their apathetic and cynical highhorse and does something to effect change?
I could do without the disparaging remarks. You don't know jacks**t about me or what I have been through. You don't know how many days I've already taken off work to attend court cases on molestation for people I know. Perhaps you should come down off your self-righteous high horse and slow down on the judgements.
