Re: falsely accused

First, a Judge cannot accept or review a letter from you. you are not a party and,as a result, have no voice in the proceeding. The issues that you raise are valid issues that can and would be raised as part of the defense. An aggressive defense is necessary in such cases and would include challenging the victim's story and any medical evidence.
