Yes, that is the flashback thread.

Yes, it would obviously be against victim interest in some cases. However, since I see courts as I do-- i.e. as people going before the public and laying out something which is intolerable, I feel that incomplete alignment with victim interests is something one must accept.

Instead my view is that the public must become accustomed to that is is a court, and to behave reasonably with regard to those who have brought cases to them.
