I don't think a "typical juror" is fully equipped to hear a rape case. As someone who may fit the profile of a "typical" juror, I think that, if someone were raped, she (or, maybe even he..?) would report it immediately, despite viewing numerous Law and Order episodes in which the opposite is true. Evidently, this way of thinking is a misconception. I think that the rape educational program is a great idea. Increasing awareness and education about rape can only help victims, families, jurors, and everyone else understand what the potential (and, if any, probable) responses are to rape. I work for icyou.com, a user-generated website that features health care videos on any and all topics. Rape is a focus area in which we have little offer. If you have or know of anyone who has videos for the purpose of increasing awareness about rape and women's health in general, we'd love to see that work on icyou. Please feel free to contact me, or just check out our website. Can't wait to read your next post!
