Description

Emily Quint waited months for the trial of the man she alleges sexually assaulted her, but the case was stayed after it took too long to be heard. That was based on the strict time limits laid out in the Supreme Court’s so-called Jordan decision, which Quint says is more concerned with the rights of accused perpetrators of violence than the rights of survivors.
