I understand what you are saying.
I am simply saying that in a criminal case if the only evidence presented is the accusation of the prosecution, especially if the supposed victim proclaims they are not a victim of the alleged crime, then I will find it hard to convict if I'm on that jury. Regardless of what the law says or the alleged intent of the accused.
In cases that any law can provide a conviction with no evidence other than an accusation from the state then that's an extremely bad law and should be stricken.
