Though I'm not really concerned that this was a rape trial - she's a cop, if she can't handle uncomfortable trials then she shouldn't be one. I'm more concerned about the physiology here. There's a reason why bouncers at clubs are huge men, and not short little women like me (though I am pretty buff, don't make me flex and show off my muscles). Was that same logic applied in this situation? I'm not so sure. If it wasn't, why not?

I think that the gun, mace, and maybe tazer she was carrying was supposed to compensate for her lack of size. No deputy (man or woman) should be left alone with the guy, however and he shouldn't be riding around in elevators un-schackled.
