Thank God for the Constitutional protections afforded the criminally accused. But crime victims, like young Savannah, also should have certain rights - including a right to be heard, directly or indirectly, during the plea bargaining process.

The girl made some bad choices as to the drinking &c, but she has guts for bravely exposing the creeps and more power to her.

“If they really feel it’s necessary,” she said, “to throw me in jail for talking about what happened to me, as opposed to throwing these boys in jail for what they did to me, then I don’t understand justice.”

You & the rest of us, kid.

When was government given the authority to silence a citizen not sentenced or accused of a crime?

Rape a girl, photograph it, and send her to jail if she tells anyone.

Is this Sharia?

(1) Seems to me the injured party should have the final say in whether a plea bargain is accepted. Was she not consulted?

(2)It also seems to me that there was overwhelming evidence the perps committed the crime. If there's no doubt they did it, why bargain in the first place?

Anyone know who the judge was? I think he/she needs some exposure on this.
