50 year-old guy with a gold chain is getting drunker than a hoot owl with a 15 year-old boy, in an apartment... He was a "victim" only in the sense that he was counting on pitching with the boy instead of catching.
From the article:
“He expressed remorse and was found to have been
confused by his sexuality at the age the offence was perpetrated,” he said.
What a trend this could set. Forget 'temporary insanity' and the required post-trial incarceration for a psych evaluation - just go with 'sexuality confusion.'
"I didn't mean to kill him, your Honor, but I was overcome by my feelings of confusion of my sexuality."
Could get that 5-15 reduced to 5 years probation and time served.
