"Now if you've ever been around a courthouse, you'll know that blaming
victims, sullying their reputations, and/or claiming they provoked the
accused are part of the standard repertoire of the defense, whose job
it is to raise doubts. Disappointingly, I've heard comments on various
LGBTQ blogs that McInerney's attorney is "just doing his job" and
obligated to make the best argument he can for his client. But while
the latter is true, there are a variety of arguments that aren't
allowed in court because society considers them illegitimate and
unacceptable."
