@firefly,
Quote:If her employer is choosing to pay her, she is not a ward of the state. She is in protective custody as a potential witness,
She is getting a paycheck, she is being kept housed at expense to the state and had state paid minders, and she has various state revenue streams at her disposal, that is pretty darn cushy.
Quote:You don't know whether she was physically harmed
Sure we do, with all of the anti DSK leaks if she had been hurt we would have heard about it. It probably would have been on the charge sheet as well.
Quote:and you have no idea how she might be emotionally harmed
Maybe, but she might have been an emotional train wreck before this happened as well, but in any case DSK is only responsible for what he did, not for her emotional response to what he did. She can take up her allegation of pain and suffering in the civil suit, it is not a matter for NY v DSK.
Quote:Why should anyone be concerned about Strauss-Kahn's condition? He's just another one of the thousands of people charged with crimes in NYC every year. He's in a cushy house arrest set-up, and he can afford the best lawyers to help him beat this rap. So, there's really "nothing to talk about" with him either
Except for the injustice heaped upon him by the state, which very well may harm us all because DSK was prevented from assisting the collective in fixing the the broken economic system and the emergency response to the economic calamity is weaker because of it...
