I agree with that. But let me ask you a question. Is bearing false witness immoral to you?

Oh, lying is absolutely wrong. But he was not falsely convicted his attorneys aren't challenging the sentence they want to argue that the sentence was too harsh. He was convicted of Statutory Rape - there is no question of his guilt on that, none. The second conviction which was similar to Sexual Assault on a child w/ injuries carried the mandatory sentence. The injuries were well documented. The government has an obligation to protect our society. That obligation falls on our legislators, the judicial system and law enforcement. The State of Georgia is tough on crimes against children and it should be. This isn't the Kobe Bryant case the victim was a child. That anyone would try to gin up sympathy for a grown man who beyond all doubt is guilty of having sex with a child is utterly shameless. An eleven year old was killed in Florida because the system failed. Because they were too lenient on sex offenders one slipped through the cracks. They failed to protect the child. If you think the sentence is too harsh, and that is really whats up up for debate, then maybe we could do an assessment. What would be acceptable as far as casualties? Does anyone think that the number of sex crimes against children is so low we should relax our laws. They certainly weren't tough enough to deter Marcus Dixon.
