00:00
A devastating but unsurprising miscarriage of justice.
00:04
The criminal justice system is not set up to be supportive of survivors and it's a huge problem
00:12
and one that many people are trying to address through legislation and through activism.
00:16
But I just want to remind people that this overturning of this verdict does not erase
00:21
his guilt and does not mean that anyone who came forward was not telling the truth or that what
00:28
they did wasn't valuable. It's just a glitch in the system. It's a flaw with the way that our
00:33
criminal justice system currently works and we have to keep fighting against it.
00:37
And what it might mean though is with the retrial that victims then have to go through
00:42
it all again don't they which will be traumatic for them.
00:44
Deeply re-traumatising. The entire process is very very very difficult and it makes me want to never
00:51
hear anyone ever again say well why don't people just report to the police because this is why.
00:57
The system is broken and it's a very difficult process to go through and nobody should feel
01:01
like they have to put themselves through this when the system isn't there to support them.
