Sherry,

Yes, I saw that 60 Minutes episode. I too was outraged over the lawyer's
attitudes. He also said something to the effect "Well, the victim didn't
seem too affected by it. She was very well adjusted." Aaarrrgghh!!!
Should she have come into court looking like a wild-eyed, disheveled
manic-depressive? I guess crime is OK if the victim subsequently SEEMS
well adjusted. Do they ever talk about how well adjusted a robbery victim
seems?

                              Thoroughly Disgusted, 

                                     B. Walsh
