[snip all of what I accept as undoubtedly true]

The thing is, that I am not against the legal process. That, in various
ways, and in various countries, has evolved to do the best that it can.

The point is that the system, designed to do its best in difficult
circumstances, fails, like any system, when society turns its attention
on how to manipulate it.

How could I make any difference to the legal system? I couldn't. What
I might more effectively do (and, very incidentally I might add, how I
might influence people like you), is to argue that certain *uses* of the
legal system in society are counterproductive.

I can only argue this where I have a voice.

*That* might make parents a little less likely to take at face value
what is on offer as a case against a teacher; and contra that, might
make parents a little more likely to take, not at face value, but after
investigation, *even more seriously* what is on offer as a case against
a teacher.

What is plausible is not necessarily true; but equally what is true is
not necessarily plausible.

I didn't want to make you as lawyers culpable; but I didn't want to make
you innocent either, as you seemed to suggest.

We *all* need to work for this.
