Reply to comment by Such-Wrongdoer-2198 in Serial ‘jogger rapist’ to be released from Oregon prison by LuceeCarioca

Unfortunately he didn't get convicted for 9, statute of limitations ran out on the others. There shouldn't be a limitation on rape since they didn't have DNA back then and all rape kits aren't routinely processed as a matter of course

Yeah I don't really get the logic behind a statute of limitations on a crime like that

Seems like you're telling on yourself here if you're so scared of someone from your past coming forward with allegations like that. The burden of proof is still the same, if there's DNA evidence in a rape case that was unable to be tested for before but now it can be, why should the rapist get to go free just for committing a crime before we had the technology to catch them?
