In 2019, actress Evan Rachel Wood addressed a Senate Public Safety Committee in CA, calling for Statute of Limitations on DV-related cases to be increased. The committee broadly agreed with ERW's pitch and the S of L was increased. In light of the clear evidence which has since emerged that ERW has been, shall we say, less than truthful in numerous of her public statements, should CA now be reviewing the legislation change ERW's testimony prompted?

This was a great podcast. I'm very happy to see Diana back, and in top form. Just awesome!

Timing is crucial to more than litigation. Which hasn't heard someone beat an joke one to many times , or that guy constantly late for work. Here in Old Dixie , we say she's ripe for the picken.

Amen !

Why on earth would you wait 30 years to make criminal charges against someone.

8:09 - I can't think of a better argument then that for introducing a Statute of Limitations law for serious offenses in Canada. If assessing credibility of according the court of appeal more of an art then a science, that should TERRIFY any reasonable human being. Would you go to an alchemist or a witch doctor treat your your heart condition or cancer? Probably not right? Well, if some totally out of touch with reality judge's best guess is all that stands between you and conviction based on old memories that can scientifically be proven to be unreliable, would you rather roll the dice and hope for the best outcome? Or would it be more fair to everyone, including the alleged victim to not involve the criminal justice system at all? I mean sure, victims should be treated with understanding and given access to mental health resources to help them, but after years have passed, NO ONE recalls things exactly as they happened. Memories and feelings change. An example of this happened just last night to me. I was at a concert and before the band took the stage they had a DJ playing tracks to entertain the audience. They played a song at one point that gave me a really nostalgic feeling but at the same time I was thinking I remember hating that song when it was new because it was so heavily over played. The song didn't change, but how I feel about it did. If you'd asked me years ago I'd tell you I hated that song. Last night I would have told you that I really enjoyed it. Memories are ALWAYS unreliable over time.

Maybe we should start using the term retroactive allegations, rather than "historical" allegations? Or maybe there is another phrase that is better? Maybe use the phrase "retrospective allegations"? Yeah, I think "retrospective allegation" is a good phrase. The phrase "(long) delayed allegations" may also have some uses.

Is there compensation for a person for the damages done by both the accuser and the Crown to an innocent person? If not, Seems like one type of abuse is O.K. and another is not. "Both are Wrong" I just want to be clear on that.....
