Stop Making Rape Victims Testify About Their Pregnancies,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica Down Coats Shop Online[/b][/url]
Nearly three years ago,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], the California Supreme Court ruled that a child molester who impregnates his victim could be found to have committed great bodily injury. In a concurring opinion, Justice Carol Corrigan went a step further, calling on the Legislature to declare that pregnancy always constitutes great bodily injury,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], or otherwise prescribe lengthier sentences in such circumstances.
Perhaps surprisingly,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], nobody in the Legislature appears to have taken up Corrigan suggestion. On Thursday,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], Fourth District Court of Appeal Justice Williams Bedsworth gave it another try.
"It is hard for me to imagine how we can require the victim of a rape to come to court and try to persuade us the physical suffering of her childbirth or abortion was sufficient to meet the statutory standard" of great bodily injury, Bedsworth wrote in People v. Meneses, [pdf].
Jasinto Meneses was convicted of committing a lewd act on his 12-year-old cousin that resulted in her pregancy and subsequent bearing of a child. The jury found that Meneses,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカレディースダウンジャケット[/b][/url], who was in his late 20s at the time,[url=http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers Jackets Outlet On Sale[/b][/url], inflicted great bodily injury and sentenced him to 15 years to life under the state "One Strike" law.
On appeal Meneses argued that there was no evidence of pregancy complications or other serious harm,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.webmium.com/][b]Online Duvetica Outlet Shop Duvetica Jackets Duvetica Down Coats[/b][/url], but the Fourth District disagreed. "We are influenced by,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], although do not rely on,[url=http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/][b]discount Men And Women Parajumpers Jackets Outlet On Sale 2013[/b][/url], Justice Corrigan concurring opinion in People v. Cross,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url]," Justice William Rylaarsdam wrote for the court.
Bedsworth joined Rylaarsdam but wrote separately,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ 通販[/b][/url], calling on the Legislature or the Supreme Court to make the great bodily injury finding automatic. "The present state of the law will require 13-year-olds to continue to take the stand and tearfully relive the end of their pregnancies,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url]," he wrote. "It will require defense attorneys to cross-examine on the point,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], and judges and juries to try to decide how much pain is enough and just how to go about trying to separate physical pain from emotional torment. It will make us all accessories after the fact."
Justice Richard Aronson did not join Rylaarsdam opinion, but concurred separately, saying that any change in the law should come from the Legislature, not the courts. "The Legislature, rather that judicial branch,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], is in the best position to determine whether all criminally imposed pregnancies result in great bodily injury,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], a proposition not at all clear,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoes.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant shoes[/b][/url]," he wrote,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], noting that miscarriages can sometimes occur early in a pregancy without serious symptoms.
Aronson also questioned whether an 18-year-old who impregnates his 17-year-old girlfriend should automatically be subject to the severe GBI enhancement. "Removing this issue from the jury by judicial fiat,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url]," he wrote,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], "would violate a defendant's right to due process and trial by jury."
