The judge is facing a removal and there is a retrial; this is progress. Look back 50 years and the judge's opinion would have been common.
We don't live in a world where a finger is snapped and all is suddenly better all around. Some ideologies only die with when the people believing in them die (a generation or two till it changes. Some concepts take longer than that, even.
The silver lining in this victim's case is that the voice of reason and ability to communicate keeps getting stronger with time. Everyone agrees now in tweets, emails, interviews and reporting that dictates change.
This is a horrible situation for the victim (all of it), but the unanimous support for the victim and dealing with the judge is uplifting. It means we are getting better as human beings.
