Ahhh.....do you mean "child rapists" or accused "child rapists"? Defense attorneys "relentlessly defend" accused child rapists and others charged with serious crimes, of course. They do have a right to a legal defense, yes?
I've never seen anybody defend actual "child rapists". That's quite an amazing assertion.
The legal experts were merely giving their informed opinion which has no impact on the jurys decision.
Well, the Times certainly thinks their opinion is "informed" and you apparently concur. One can't actually say "these men are guilty", though, "so let's get on with the sentencing".
That's a bit too much, even for the Times but it tried its best.
I cited another news source.
I guess they are all biased when they communicate negative news about the church huh?
We can’t have the church’s brand tarnished! Nope!
Screw the children, save the church!
