In a county that's otherwise brutal in its treatment of anyone so much as accused of sex crimes (see Shane Vicars, sentenced just last week), why is it also no surprise that when a Sacramento Police officer stands accused of rape, suddenly both Judge Cheryl Chun Meegan and the Office of DA Jan Scully appear to be playing for the defense.
The National Aphasia Association has filed a discrimination complaint against a Sacramento judge for ruling that an alleged rape victim with the disorder that inhibits communication isn't competent to testify at trial. Besides naming Superior Court Judge Cheryl Chun Meegan in a complaint filed with the U.S. Justice Department, the association wants the agency's disability rights section to review the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office for not taking up the issue on appeal.
