Any mention of pine needles?
/serves him right
He was not convicted of rape.
Nobody really knows what happened at all except in the last few seconds except for him. Well maybe not even him since he was drunk out of his mind too.
The girl admits she doesn’t remember anything. For all we know his story about it being drunken consented sexual tryst could be true.
He very well could be guilty or guilty in parts of what he is accused of but the facts of this case and what happened and to what degree are a lot more murky than what the media bandwagon is trying to whip up.
The judge presumably knows more about this case than almost anybody commenting and there is no evidence that he wanted to ‘let him off the hook’ other than ‘gut feelings’
He is still being punished, including the main punishment of being labeled a sex offender for life and having his name be infamous permanently.
Cases should be decided based on facts, not social media inquisitions. Especially inquisitions that the left is trying to parlay into a political advantage by pushing the fictional ‘all men are evil’ angle and for more guilt presumptive laws.

Hillary laughing about how clever she was, suppressing evidence to get her client only two months “time served” (he walked) after his brutal rape (she was wide awake, too) of a twelve year old girl.
Two months, “time served,” instead of 40 years in the pen. And she laughs about it, and how clever she was to hide the evidence: her blood on his underwear.
He should also not be allowed to attend Muhammad Ali’s funeral, not be allowed to ever play in the NFL and be banned from Target stores for life, or at least until he changes genders
and maybe that judge will be sanctioned or whatever they do with judges.
i don’t think this judge was following guidelines & it seems to me something is askew with the judge.
As bad as things can be, as horrible as situations can become, there are lawyers who are able to make things much, much worse. Like the victim I have learned this the hard way.
I hope the defendant’s council enjoys their 12 pieces of silver earned defending this POS. They will come to learn what their works earned for them when this life is over and the eternal one begins.
I will endeavor to remain far away from them, the defendant and his parents, away as far as possible for fear of the Lord’s vengeance when their time has come.
Shunning/shaming used to be a powerful force in society. A lot of behavior, criminal and not, was deterred because of it. Everything should not be left to the courts since a lot of bad behavior is not criminal, and “we” can add additional consequences when the court doesn’t go far enough.
Obama’s trying to get rid of any shame/shunning/stigma from behavior. We can’t look at criminal record for hiring or college if he gets his way. That’s the opposite of what we should do if we want to reduce crime.
The one place we still practice shunning is “sex-crimes”. I’d say that’s great except we go overboard with our definition of “sex-crime”. A teen high-schooler probably should not be on a sex criminal list for life because he/she had sex with a consenting classmate one year younger.
I feel sorry for the girls who used to have to leave town for 9 months. But I have to think that decreased unplanned pregnancies more than celebrating abortions and having your high school class throw baby showers. It definitely decreased unwed motherhood since adoption was the end of pregnancy rather than shame. Unwed mothers are a large part of our “income inequality increase” Ds complain about so maybe they’d like to help shun/shame girls from unplanned pregnancies or at least somehow discourage the practice in some way. We need to be compassionate and assist them and the children but we don’t have to say they are equals to married mothers with planned families or that they didn’t make a mistake (and the fathers should be shunned/shamed even more but an NFL player bragged about it a few weeks ago and I didn’t hear any criticism of him).
It’s a start. Hopefully more to come. Maybe his career will be flipping burgers.
