S2 E15 Rape Victim Cell Phone Searches
Imagine this; you are a rape victim. You report the crime to the police. They come to investigate, and as part of the investigation they ask for permission to search YOUR cell phone. Sound impossible? Maybe not. Certain jurisdictions in the U.K. are now seeking to search the cellphones of accusers to thwart false allegations. \n\nIs the U.K. criminal justice system insensitive to victims? Could this ever happen here in the United States? Does this fit into our "innocent until proven guilty" system of justice? Should an accuser bring forward evidence to support their claim? Should an accuser be made to turn over exculpatory evidence they may possess? Franz Borghardt and Richard Sprinkle take on these questions and more in this all-new episode of Legally Unfiltered!
