Richard I respect that lawyers have to do their best for their clients and that due process has to be given. Can you imagine that some would not try and make a defence that their client had suffered injury in order to try and reduce any subsequent charges/sentence?

Look at what rape victims are put through now. I am sorry if my comments are erroneous or cause offence but I can only go on some of the cases where actions are brought against victims of crime by other (the Police, CPS and defedants). If I am totally wrong then I would stand very happy to be corrected.

Forgive my generalisations therefore. You are far more educated than I in this area. It could never happen then?

Sorry for any offence once again. As such a thing has not thus far happened with such a device then only an assumption, maybe a presumption, lead my thinking.
