Of course she does, and I don't blame her. My feeling is that maybe she shouldn't have to testify, since her testimony's all written down and besides, the charges against him that have anything to do with her have been dealt with. It'll be in the news, but it'd be in the news no matter what happens.
Also, it wouldn't be another rape trial, it'd be about him being a fugitive from justice. Because if he gets away with it, then he gets away with it, y'know? White male privilege wins again. Maybe dealing with the issue might even stop some other young girl from going through what this one did.
(Oh, and on a totally unrelated subject. Would you be up to doing a DC trip sometime in the near future? I could take the train down, we could hang out and tour things, it'd be ed-u-cational for the kids, and all kinds of other fun stuff!)
