Just a few days ago, Aaron Davis, of Long Branch was sentenced to a year in prison for leaving a puppy in a cage alongside the water. His attorney, Adamo Ferreira, said, “The sentence was overkill. There was no reason to sentence Mr. Davis to jail. It’s a fourth-degree offense. This was his first indictable conviction.” Also a few days ago, Zachary Madle, a 23-year old from North Wildwood, admitted he engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with a barely-conscious woman and recorded the encounter on SnapChat and was sentenced to five years of probation. It was the longest term the judge could impose with that conviction.
Almost drown a dog, you get a year in prison.

On the good news side, Gov, Morphy supposedly has kidney cancer.
Sad lol. Do we really want to go down route???
Use to think no but now I’m not that sure.
Was it Rape Rape? Or just Rape? Somebody axe Whoopee!
Let’s call it “Rape”. All these euphemisms just get in the way of clear understanding. “Sexual Assault” or “Sexual Violence” is too nebulous a term. Like maybe some clod didn’t use the “correct pronouns” or some bit of wankery like that.
Lot of stuff here from The Star Ledger. Biggest liberal rag in NJ.
