John Grisham Quotes

With Murder, The Victim Is Gone, And Not Forced To Deal With What Happened To Her. The Family Must Deal With It, But Not The Victim. But Rape Is Much Worse. The Victim Has A Lifetime Of Coping, Trying To Understand, Of Asking Questions, And The Worst Part, Of Knowing The Rapist Is Still Alive And May Someday Escape Or Be Released. Every Hour Of Every Day, The Victim Thinks Of The Rape And Asks Herself A Thousand Questions. She Relives It, Step By Step, Minute By Minute, And It Hurts Just As Bad.
Perhaps The Most Horrible Crime Of All Is The Violent Rape Of A Child. A Woman Who Is Raped Has A Pretty Good Idea Why It Happened. Some Animal Was Filled With Hatred, Anger And Violence. But A Child? A Ten-year-old Child? Suppose You're A Parent. Imagine Yourself Trying To Explain To Your Child Why She Was Raped. Imagine Yourself Trying To Explain Why She Cannot Bear Children.
