For three months leading to the murder of Victoria 'Tori' Stafford, Michael Rafferty searched the Internet for 'underage rape, real underage rape, real underage rape pictures, pre-teen nude, pre-teen model galleries and nude pre-teen.'...
I get so angry that this kind of information can't be introduced as evidence. How would you like to be a member of a jury and acquit someone like this and then find all of this stuff out later?
It was the same thing recently in a case in England. A neighbor killed a young woman. It was very puzzling because the guy had a PhD, a great job, a girlfriend, no history of abusing women. There was no reason for him to attack a next-door neighbor he barely knew. The jury found him guilty anyway. After the verdict, they released info the judge wouldn't allow into testimony, that this guy was a big violent porn viewer, and viewed porn that showed women being choked - just what happened to his victim. Jurors were livid that they weren't given that information.
