The answer apparently is if it takes place in Nebraska:
“A Nebraska federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against a state judge who barred anyone from saying “rape” or “victim” during a criminal trial, ruling Tuesday that the accuser failed to prove that he should intervene.”
His line of reasoning?
“Kopf said he could not imagine a jury being swayed because a woman uses the word “raped” instead of “some tortured equivalent for the word,” but he said that wasn’t his decision to make.”
So does this also mean if you are robbed, you can’t use the word robbery or if you are killed that it can’t be called a murder? Just asking.
