The justice system is supposed to punish crime. Any young woman who is the victim of violence will come away from this thinking "there is no point reporting this, because the American justice system wont give the guy a sentence, wont protect me... he'll be out the day after the court case, and ready to take reprisals against me for daring to report him"
