Re: controversial/confrontational/hostile/bitter opinions

I don't know. If appealing to sexism works, maybe the only solution is a society in which the average juror isn't sexist, something far easier to outline than to achieve. But if it's this hard to get sexual predators convicted (2% chance by RAINN's estimate), is there even a point in pretending that rape is punishable?

The defense isn't about the jury. Only a minority of cases go in front of a jury. Prosecutors don't want to take it there, and neither to defenders ideally. The real world isn't To Kill a Mockingbird, Law and Order, or Perry Mason.

Most of a prosecution/defense is going to happen pre-trial in discovery. The prosecution tries to introduce evidence. The defense examines the procedure behind the evidence and looks for grounds to reject the evidence.

The DoJ puts the prosecution rate for rape at around 58%, meaning that prosecutors get a conviction a majority of times they choose to prosecute. On the other hand, the attrition rate is only 6% which means that only 6% of reports result in a conviction. So the major barrier to rape convictions isn't a jury or the presence of a defender, it's the willingness of law enforcement and prosecutors to investigate reports.
