I am not sure we can be too judgmental about horrifying sexual assault attitudes.

Oh, I think we can.

QuoteHowever not even the most barbarous Neanderthal over here would want to light a girl on fire for being raped so I guess we have that going for us.

Unfortunately there are; the difference is what society does about it.

Well ok I guess there are always a few.  But they generally are not attorneys thinking this would be a good way to get sympathy for their client so maybe we have that going for us.  I hope anyway.

Strange that the victim, the driver/rapist and one of the lawyers are all called Singh. Usually this is a Sikh name and Sikhs are very modern in their views on women (women priests have been common in Sikhism since it was founded 500 years ago)

Valmy

I know it is traditionally a Sikh name but over the centuries maybe it spread to the other religious groups?

Yeah, there are plenty of Hindus with Singh as a name.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
