all the rights for the convict, practically none for the victim..... Nah, the judicial system is really f**ked up... and then they wonder why people have lost their faith in it.

What systems are in place to ensure that the convict has actually changed and won't commit the offence again? While I'm not trying to reduce what the victim has gone through, there isn't enough done in the prison to re-educate the prisoners.
Yes the victims have suffered, the conviction and sentencing is what they expect out of the legal system. Additional councilling needs to be undertaken by them.

Having had a family member framed for a hideous crime, I think I have some authority as to what actually happens in prisons.
