Simon Souhrada, 17, said Freshwater used a high-voltage static electricity device to burn a cross on his arm four years ago. But, he testified, "it never even registered with me as being anything, really."

It never even registered with him as being anything and never told anyone???

There are pictures. He was mentally molested before he was physically molested.

Yeah, doesn't pass the smell test. If you got branded you think you would remember that.

Injuries resulting from a static electricity thing might not seem so earth-shattering to a student at the time... heck, I remember the boys (ie, everyone except me) in my AP physics class touching each other’s arms with hot light bulbs, or feeling the edge of a razor blade to ‘see how sharp it is’, or getting other minor injuries as the result of stupidity pretty much every single time we had a lab. So, maybe the student thought it wasn’t supposed to leave a mark, so it was accidental, or something like that?

I don’t know for sure what the kid was thinking, but when you’re 13 the world seems like a much more benevolent place.

Notice the issue isn't being branded, it's all this horrible "dude is a Christian" that's the issue.

Like I said his mistake was not using circles instead of an x, that way if a full circle wasn't made and it looked like a crescent, no big deal!
