Work with many trauma survivors? Obviously not to say something so insensitive and idiotic.
Vengeance is not justice, and it does not bring closure in most cases. The truth and the victims getting their chance to get their truth out in the open is taken away if there isn't a trial.
I had a co-worker who was violently raped by a service member lose that option because her assailant hung himself before charges were laid. She has faced 10 years of mental anguish, released for mental health reasons, and was basically shunned from her peer group because "you brought up allegations that made Pte McFuckFace hang himself. What if you were just lying or had regrets?"
I would rather see trial after trial, acquittal after acquittal, and have the process completed properly without an inch of speculation... than have victims lose their chance for proper justice, in the vindictive pursuit of vengeance .
