i think it's bullshit, but on a general level. you call someone to testify in a case, and you make them swear to give the truth, the whole truth, so help them god.
but don't say "this" in your testimony.
oh...don't say "that" either.
while we're at it, don't say "these things," "those things," and probably best to stay away from "that" too.
------
to me, that's the point of testimony. you call someone and ask them what happened. they tell you, in their recollection, and then you think about it and make your decision.
so if she can't say 'rape,' and i'm in the jury i'm thinking one of a couple of things '1. i know they banned the word rape, victim etc...shit, even the judge doesn't think this happened. this is just a technicality. let the guy off so i can go home, 2. why aren't they saying 'rape' here? so even she doesn't really think she was raped? just come out with it straight...this is bullshit, and a waste of my time. let the guy go.'
i think its definitely prejudicial against her case.
