业余的理解,西方的法律体系有几个关键:
-被法庭定罪之前假定是无罪
-被国家控告的人有权为自己辩护,包括拥有律师的权利
-检察官和被告的律师地位类似,都要靠证据,而法官主持审案,并不偏向检察官
这些措施非常昂贵,但可能是导致西方算文明社会,而中国不算的一个重要因素
基本同意你说的,罪大恶极的犯人也有律师为他们辩护,不是同意,同情,支持他们的罪行,而是为他们提供法律援助,在合法的范围内,争取最大的权力。律师替嫌犯找到证据上的漏洞,推翻检察官的指控,那是律师的职责和本事。但在此案中,律师应当很清楚加拿大的法律。不是靠证据漏洞,而是攻击女孩的人品,纯属手段低劣。
对这个案子了解不多,好像嫌疑犯阿里是28岁吧?如果是这样,律师污名化13岁女孩是没有任何用处的,原则上加拿大性行为的consent 年龄是16岁。低于这个年龄,无论是否愿意,算强奸幼女。
12 - 13 岁,除非对方是不大于2岁,可以信赖的,其他都属于刑事犯罪。
Canada's age of consent
The age of consent to sexual activity is
16 years. In some cases, the age of consent is higher (for example, when there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency).
In other words, a person must be at least 16 years old to be able to legally agree to sexual activity.
Close in age exceptions
A 14 or 15 year old can consent to sexual activity as long as the partner is
less than five years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person. This means that if the partner is 5 years or older than the 14 or 15 year old, any sexual activity is a criminal offence.
There is also a "close in age" exception for 12 and 13 year olds. A 12 or 13 year old can consent to sexual activity with a partner as long as the partner is
less than two years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person. This means that if the partner is 2 years or older than the 12 or 13 year old, any sexual activity is a criminal offence.
