Kirsten Gillibrand actually said...

"If 62 percent of the victims who have actually come forward to report a sexual assault or rape believe they have been retaliated against, how do you think you are going to instill that trust?"

"Why wouldn't you let someone who is experienced to make that decision, who is a prosecutor, so that you have an objective reviewer, someone who can't be biased in any way?"

"There seems to be a lack of awareness of incidents where a victim does not feel he or she has received justice."

"I believe giving trained prosecutors the authority to convene court-martials to determine judges and juries and also backend authority would remove--would remove bias from the system."
