POlicy and personal decisions are not the same thing. I strongly believe in due process. ALl accused should be given a trial, even those we know are gulkty. OTOH, if a guy that had raped my daughter was being tried, I might be tempted to go Ellie Nessler on him. This would be bad, I know, and should never be policy, and would be inconcistent with my beliefs and would NOT be justifed, but I might still do it.

They are silly, because they have never happened?
