An attorney should only be able to attack an accusers credibilty if there is a past history of problems.

Much the same as a prosecutor cannot introducemany times the past history of the accused.

Fagan is a defense attorney who derives income from these trials and therefore should not be allowed to to campaign for or against or even vote on the issue. It should be an ethics violation. But .....................this is Massachusetts where everthing goes out the window even victims rights. Victims rights, in Massachusetts thats an oxymoron.
