I always heard “15 will get you 20” when I was a young man. I guess times have changed!

The rapist’s lawyer accomplished the same result as Hillary Clinton when she helped out a rapist who also victimized a 12 y/o. This nonsense disgusts me. If you rape a 12 y/o, two decades is the lightest acceptable sentence, and even that is far too little.

His family must have connections. Justice is not blind or Hillary would be in prison.

So if you dont know the kid its 120 days, if you are the parent of the kid you get 400 years.

Do we have any real continuity of justice here anymore?

I remember as a young man, during locker room talk, that the guys would speak of jail bait, meaning underage girls.

Blame the offender.

Blame the legislature.

Blame the prosecutor.

Blame the jury.

Blame the judge.
