What's your point? Mine is the judge had no jurisdiction. The matter was never before him. It never reached court.
Is your empathy for all sex offenders or just this particular one?
If the judge acted on the case he must have known about it. If he knew about it it was before him. If it was before him he had jurisdiction.
A court case need not be filed for a judge to act. Often a judge will determine if a case may be presented. Judges may become involved before a prosecutor or other agent of the court files an action. Granting a warrant is a case in point.
Being thrown to the ground for being mouthy and refusing to obey lawful orders by a police officer, does not ruin ones life forevermore afterwards.
I have been made to lie down on the ground by police on more than one occasion. It had no continuous consequences thereafter. What is strange is seeing people putting forth the most Rube Goldberg chain of logic in order to create fake outrage over a nothing event.
And this was a point I was also trying to make. Not only does publication of this information harm the boy far more than he deserves, but it also harms the innocent sisters, and they don't deserve it at all.
The media needs to be punished for this, as does any law enforcement officials responsible for allowing this story to escape confidentiality.
I think you and I have a very different understanding of how the Juvenile court system functions. Protection for Juveniles is always foremost in these sorts of cases, and no order needs to be issued because all players know the rules.
You are arguing a pathetic technicality that would not last an instant in front of a judge. The judge would simply look at the violator and say "You know better."
I did some further digging. The judge acted on an expungement motion from one of the Duggar sisters. That's where the judge got jurisdiction.
Although the expungement is pretty much moot at this point. The reports are already out in the public. This just prevents further release.
The judge granted a motion for expungement filed by one of the Duggar sisters. That's how the judge had jurisdiction over the matter.
You are simply incorrect if you think a judge can otherwise (i.e. without the expungement motion/order) wave his hands & order something for a situation that was never before him in court.
Protection for Juveniles is always foremost in these sorts of cases, and no order needs to be issued because all players know the rules.
Once again, you're talking about court cases, not police records. Without the expungement motion & order, a court has zero jurisdiction over a matter never before the court. This is Government 101 stuff.
Everyone in the F***ing system knows better, and i'm quite tired of you trying to befuddle the issue.
There is NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY that thinks they can get away with releasing information about juveniles, with or without a judge's order. You do that, and your @$$ is toast.
I think before this is over, we are going to find some toasted @$$es of some officials.
Show me the citation to Arkansas law that demonstrates what the police did in releasing the reports was illegal.
If it was illegal, why has no one been fired or sued? Everyone (except for a few chowderheads on cable news) who has taken a look at Arkansas law on this matter has determined the police fulfilled their legal obligation under Arkansas's public records laws by releasing the records with required redactions.
I think before this is over, we are going to find some toasted @$$es of some officials.
Don't hold your breath.
I’m not interested in carrying on further exchanges with you on this topic.
Unless you are one of the girls, you really have no call to sit in judgment. He has been forgiven by the persons he harassed. What is your problem?
“I’m not interested in carrying on further exchanges with you on this topic.”
Translated: you won, gdani.
Defending a child molester isn’t my thing but if you want too...
He didn’t stop being a pervert? You know this how?
And you are privy to some explosive new info that is about to come out? Why not tell us? Break the story here.
If you can’t answer theses things than it at least it means you have a wild imagination, even is spurn on by hatred.
That makes what easy? How many hoops do you want him to jump through to satisfy your vengeful needs?
I’m sorry, I assumed everyone here was aware of “confessing your sins to one another”
I think it’s in corinthians.
Where is cast out the evildoer from among you located? Or the stoning stuff? That’s in Leviticus, right?
I thought pure religion was to defend the fatherless and widows - i.e. the defenseless. Josh isn’t defenseless, so why are you defending him? What about the three other girls? The ones who aren’t parading in front of the cameras to get a new show? Don’t they deserve protection from Josh since he is moving back to the neighborhood?
Yes, WAY WAY WAY before this, leftists have been after them.
No one is excusing. Not that I’ve seen. If so, please copy and paste the comments.
The only reason this came to light? What the heck are you talking about? This came to “light”over 10 years ago. Oh wait, you mean it didn’t make it into the tabloids until now, so they must have been covering it up? Lol. That’s just silly.
I encourage you to watch the interview with the victims. They address this. Pretty eloquently, I might add. Even for a couple of brainwashed twits /s
And I bet you my last dime that TLC also knew about it. I bet they disclosed it to them. Way back when they started.
Why is “gayjosh”a keyword? Just curious.
Spelling isn’t your thing, either.
