Trial v. Hearing

>>>
An acquittal should not bring about the automatic placement of the "victim" on a registry. Instead, a hearing should be held to determine if such an action is appropriate.
>>>
It has to be more than just a hearing, it has to be a trial. We only put convicted criminals on registries, and it should be no different where false accusations are concerned. You can argue that false accusations can be treated differently because they aren't currently categorized as crimes, but instead are viewed, if anything, as civil offenses, but if you do so, you undermine your argument for placing the person on a registry. Such a severe consequence warrants the due process ensured a defendant by the criminal justice system.

Laugh at that last bit if you'd like, but don't think it wasn't at least partly tongue in cheek.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
