Case in point, my abusive ex-husband, sexually molested our two daughters. He was given a polygragh 3 different ways. The investigating officer told me that he knew the reputation of the administrator of the test and believed in the integrity of his testing. My ex passed 3 times with no problem whatsoever. Hoever, I have two traumatized daughters who have lives that have been horrifically impacted by the molestations. He, unknown to me in the past, is in fact, a registered child sex offender for what he perpetrated on a sister's 3 year old child in the past.
It's hard to get justice when you have a habitual liar that has so perfected lying and has no sense of wrong doing. What scares me is that I think our society has gotten to the point that right/wrong is always relative.
A man that is being tried in Germany at this time was in the news for his crime of assisting a man to die. The perpetrator first removed the man's genitals, while the man was alive. Then proceed to try to eat them, while the man watched. Then the victim passed out from loss of blood. The perpetrator commenced to slicing and dicing, plastic wrapping and freezing the parts. The perpetrator then, over a course of months, feasted. Occasionally, he ground up some of the victim, made meatballs, and shared them with his collegues at work.
What was incredible to me was the look of the perpetrator's face in court as he smiled, joked and casually went into the trial. His lawyer's are arguing that the perpetrator was in fact solicited as an assistant to suicide and that it was pre-agreed as to the cannabalism. Maybe the dude is a Lector wannabe.
Sometimes, horror isn't what we see but rather what we allow.
