"Imagine what would happen if a person decided, decades after the fact, to accuse a person of heinous crimes that never actually occurred. The motive could be money, it could be revenge, it could simply be the result of a misguided trip to the therapist who coaxes false memories out of a troubled mind. If our legal system allowed that person to file a lawsuit long after witnesses had died and evidence disappeared, we would be making a mockery of the phrase 'due process.'"

The system, it's ilk/supporters are criminals. What is the statute of limitations for rape/sexual assault? What is the statute of limitations for falsely accusing/filing false charges against someone regarding rape/sexual assault?
....but what if the heinous crime actually occurred?
What if it didn't.
I am sure you agree with Blackstone's formulation, right?
