I really doubt there's ever any situation where Guy A gets picked up for something Guy B did*

You'd think so, wouldn't you? And if you're talking about multiple assaults by a close family member, probably not.* But it's been documented several times with assault by strangers--even with adult victims.

Anyone who's pro-death-penalty should be forced to sit in the front row of an Intro Psych class while they talk about reconstructive memory, repeatedly, until they get the point.

*Although there's always the possibility of, "But dear Uncle Albert couldn't possibly have done that! Tell me who *really* hurt you." Ask often enough...
