IRON CO. CIRCUIT COURT -- A former Michigan State Trooper will spend time in prison.
Monday, 37-year-old David Morikawa was sentenced to 20 months in prison after being convicted on two felony counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct in July. The convictions stem from a July 2009 incident between Morikawa and a 12-year-old girl.
Defense Attorney Grant Carlson asked the judge to go on the lower end of the 12 to 24 month recommendation, sighting Morikawa's lack of a criminal record.
"Mr. Morikawa respects the jury system, and he respects the jury’s determination,” said Carlson. “Does he agree with it? Frankly that's irrelevant. He has accepted the verdict."
The victim wrote a statement to the court in part saying she has a scar she can't get rid of.
The victim’s mother, a relative of Morikawa, also addressed the court about the pain her family has suffered since the incident.
"What you have done to my daughter and our family is something I can't get over,” said the victim's mother. “Our family will never be the same...every holiday, for Christmas, for birthdays."
Before issuing his 20 month prison sentence, Judge C. Joseph Schwedler explained how this is about more than just punishing Morikawa.
"I will, in this process, send a message to the community that we won't tolerate this in Iron County, Michigan," said Schwedler.
Morikawa chose not to address the court and was emotionless when his sentence was read. He will be required to register as sex offender and will be given credit for 46 days already served in jail.
Will this be appealed because pedophilia is being ‘normalized’ by the APA?
Perfectly legal under sharia law.

The 12 year old would have gotten 12 months if she was lucky

Key West PD
In June 1984, the Key West Police Department in Monroe County, Florida was declared a criminal enterprise under the Federal RICO statutes after a lengthy United States Department of Justice investigation. Several high-ranking officers of the department, including Deputy Police Chief Raymond Cassamayor, were arrested on federal charges of running a protection racket for illegal cocaine smugglers. At trial, a witness testified he routinely delivered bags of cocaine to the Deputy Chief's office at City Hall.

No, under Sharia law, the 12 year old would have been executed for dishonoring her body because she let herself get raped. This is the reality in Muslim-world. Black is white, up is down. Rape victims are criminals, rapists are heroes, blah blah blah, and we all live happily ever after.
Never forget that the religion was founded by a man who had sex with his 9 year old “wife.”
A child rapist AND an ex-cop... Best of luck, orificer.
Sounds second generation Japanese-American to be exact, in which case the Japanese equation is almost non-existent. Just sayin'...

“20 months in prison for diddling a 12-year old girl. Justice? I think not”
The max was only 4 months longer, plus the time served, the guy won’t do diddly squat. The laws on this need upgrading in the punishment side
I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. I grew up 10 miles from where this took place and folks there often make sure justice is served one way or another.
Classic “Pinhead”
Early season for deer is just around the corner. Dont dress him in orange for prison....dip him in brown food coloring and then coat him in molasses and deer hair. Let him loose in the woods.
Justifiable “accidental” homicide.
There’s no justice here. Even the maximum is a pathetic 24 months. What is wrong with Michigan?
Just wondering...how did the evidence stack up?
