In-depth examination of the dark side of an American justice system where women who report sexual assault are instead charged with perjury and jailed for it.Investigative journalist Rae de Leon has discovered a startling pattern in rape cases in the United States. Namely, that women who have reported a sexual assault are suspected of lying by the police. First they are accused of making up their allegations, later they are prosecuted for giving false testimony and sometimes they end up serving prison sentences. ‘Victim/Suspect’ shows how the roles are reversed so the perpetrators are declared innocent while the victims sometimes end up behind bars and other times end their lives. Rae de Leon gets first-hand accounts from the women and interviews legal experts as she delves into police methods, interrogation techniques and preliminary investigations, and the outcome reveals a corrupt system. Nancy Schwartzman charts a law enforcement agency that confuses victims and suspects and is relevant far beyond America’s borders. It is a powerful testimony to systemic failure, police handling of cases and a determined journalist’s attempt to change it.源自:
贝奇,安吉和辛迪是在同一间公司里工作的同事,私底下三个姑娘亦是感情十分要好的好友。一次偶然中,三人在公司里捡到了一大袋钱,鬼迷心窍的她们将钱拿走藏在了贝奇的家中。虽然脑袋里有一万个想要用这笔钱来买的东西,但三人并不敢在毫不知情的情况下轻易的动用这笔钱。原来,这笔巨款的主人是公司的总经理康大维,他贪污受贿假公济私的举动不慎曝光,知情者于是向其勒索了一笔巨款,哪知道却被贝奇等人半路拿走。勒索者眼看着没有拿到钱,于是将康大维的所作所为举报给了警方,康大维随即接受了调查。得知这一事实,三个姑娘的心简直提到了嗓子眼,那一带钱也仿佛不是钱了,而是一颗随时都会爆炸的定时炸弹。
