I'm not saying that the American system with juries is bad, Terry. I didn't mean to criticize it. I don't think that it is inferior to the Swedish system at all. What I was saying, really, is that I have never before heard anyone discuss the question of whether a rape victim was married or not. Maybe that is my point: I'm glad that a rape victim's marital status is never an issue when we discuss rape in my country. (But I'm not saying that Swedish justice is a model of perfect fairness, certainly not. The Swedish system is far too lenient with criminals, if you ask me. mad )

And I'm sorry to bring this thread off topic, Carol. These two puppies here hope you will feel happier soon.
