Rape Survivors Applaude Controversial New Law
You only have to listen to Lavinia Masters a few minutes to realize what an inspiration she is. At 13, she was raped by a man who broke into her West Dallas home. Decades later she finally learned the identity of the man who took her innocence, but it was too late to prosecute.
But, finally Masters and other survivors will get their justice with a new law. The law requires that suspected rapists -- tagged by DNA -- get a permanent mark on their records, that will be seen by prosecutors and parole officials. The mark could impact jail terms and parole release.
So what do you think about this first of it's kind law? ... Does it go too far in denying due process, as some ACLU critics claim? Let me know what you think.
