Gerri welcome to the willis report. Ur show, your money, your voice. Tonight another delay in obamacare. This one is intentional. This time open enrollment deadline is being extended by a month so that it can get past the election. People cant cancel th election time. With us now, steve more from the law street Journal Editorial Board and dr. Scott gottliebs, former policy for cente for mecare and medicaid services. Welcome to you both. I will start with you. Let me read you what the obacare administration is saying about what is essentially a 30 day delay. They say it is to give insurers the benefit of more time to evaluate there experiences during the 2014 plan year and allow them to take into account those who may enroll late including young adults before setting 2015 rates. That is probably right because the insurers are going to have a hard time submitting bids. There were ot going to have a lot to go on. The administration is worried. This hurts consumers. There will have to wait
Multijurisdictional in terms of peoples roles and obligations but at its center is making sure that victim gets as much information as possible as quickly as possible and fully understands that waiting to think about whether or not her brutal rapist will ever have a difficult interview with someone in uniform or whether her brutal rapists will ever have a fear of actually going to prison has everything to do with her willingness to not only come forward but come forward quick quickly. I dont think that dad and my sense after all these roundtables is there is almost a bias in the system away from the criminal Justice System. And i understand why. The criminal Justice System does not have we have had and im speaking writ large not made and the professionals i worked with when i was doing these cases cases but their horrible stories about how victims have been treated in the way they have been talked to in the way their cases have been handled. That is being used i think almost as a cudge
Excited about where we are moving. Well, that is terrific. So i will stay with one area and then i will trade off with senator bloomberg of and hopefully we look at throughout this within the next couple of hours. We have learned that most schools dont have written protocols between campus Law Enforcement and local Law Enforcement. N. A. B. Chief denton, maybe you are the right to start off because youve been in both worlds. I dont need to tell you that its always a bed of roses between Law Enforcement and campus Law Enforcement. I have seen those two groups were together well and frankly i have seen them behave badly, where one is dismissive of the other, where there is territorial, inappropriate behavior and i would like your take on what we should do, how we can do a better job and you should start in anybody else should jump in. One of my serious here as we are having way too many interviews of Sexual Assault victims of people who dont know how to do a forensic interview. The prose
This day and age there are so many young people that think rape can only occur between strangers theyve dont think if its rape, between people who know each other, that is the same thing, and youre right there is a baseline. Talk about the statutory challenges we have in states. I know that new york has a i think every state is different about incapacitation and consent. Lets talk about that. Thats not something we can fix obviously in washington, but i think its important we acknowledge that there is work to be done at the state level in terms of underlying statutes. Certain lay gap between the college definitions and the College Policies on what is Sexual Assault, and then our state statutes, what we can actually prosecutor, what you said before about sometimes people do go to Law Enforcement and theyre sent away. In new york state, obviously, a force able rape is a rape. If someone is intoxicated to the point of being physically helpless so they theyre sleeping or unconscious, that
Zoner said is in the right place before we really start to flesh out an interview schedule and touch base in terms of the kinds of interviews you are asking for or suggest. These things are all done without an mou in place. And what we have found on a number of occasions is that our local Law Enforcement agencies arent beholden to the dod or any other directives to enter into any agreement. If i approach them with something theyre going to have to sign theyll run it through their Legal Counsel and either refuse to sign or handshake and work with us. We havent had a problem working with people. Its never a bad idea to try to come up with something that forces agencies that have difficulty working together, but im not sure an mou is the right thing for that. We do have excuse me. Go ahead. Go ahead. We have a Franklin County Sexual Assault response protocol thats been developed among all Law Enforcement agencies in our led by our county prosecutor that that serves as that road map or gui
