    A victim giving a deposition under oath is considered a credible accusation on its face.

      I’ve never understood how a oath somehow creates a form of credibility with out some other proof to back it up

      It’s still just words. I know lying under oath is a crime and all that. But when most shit just gets settled and rarely actually has teeth towards the rich or famous.

      It feels like an oath is just a pretend make believe thing that only the deranged actually think is real.
