Comment: I absolutely respect DA Patty Perlow for making a decision that although she likely knew would  NOT be popular with many, it was the RIGHT DECISION to make for the benefit of Lane county citizens, particularly crime victims, including victims of sexual abuse!!  People should take the time to read all the examples of the judge's rulings (the example of the quadriplegic victim was very disturbing to me) / biased comments.  I personally feel like Perlow had no choice.  I specially appreciate her bravery and the fact that she is staying true to her promise to protect Lane county citizens.  Shame on those who are making this issue into a police-specific and even an LGBTQ issue!!  The evidence is varied and  available, if you take the time to read it before drawing uninformed conclusions.
