Appeals court affirms child porn sentence (Perverted beyond belief)

A federal appeals court today upheld a 30-year sentence for a Fulton man convicted on child pornography charges.

Jack Wayne Rogers was sentenced in April 2004 after investigators found about 1,000 images of child pornography at his home and business. Among the photographs, investigators also found evidence that Rogers performed voluntary "nullifications," a procedure in which a male’s sexual organs are removed.

Lawyers for Rogers had argued before a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that his sentence was unreasonable. At a hearing in April, Rogers’ appointed lawyer contended that Senior U.S. District Judge Scott O. Wright had improperly sentenced his client to the long term because Rogers once botched a nullification operation.

Evidence showed that the patient almost died from severe bleeding. Authorities also alleged that Rogers ate the man’s body parts after the procedure.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence E. Miller, however, contended that Wright had properly weighed all evidence against Rogers.

“In my time as an (assistant U.S. attorney) I’ve never seen anything like this and I hope I never see it again,” Miller said. “This is a very dangerous man. I think Judge Wright realized that.”

Well, "The" is a family name...

Must be related to Smokey The Bear.

Voluntary? Now who would agree to such a thing?

[Hattori_Hanzo]

I think it is to prevent mistaken identity, especially with such a common first/last name.

[RockinRight]

A homo that wishes he were female.

[R. Scott]

… his sentence was unreasonable.

?????

Moral Absolutes Ping.

Do NOT read this article if you aren't in the mood to be sickened. Note that no mention is made of the sex of the victims in the child porn.

The fact that subhuman scum like this are not summarily executed is proof that our culture tolerates much that should not be tolerated.

The other day I was debating with someone who held that unborn babies are nothing but "clumps of cells" until one month gestation; my position is that a tiny human being is a human being no matter how small. The topic was one of using embryos for "medical" purposes. He (or she) then triumphantly asked me my POV on the death penalty.

Answer: WAY underused.

It is a crime against humanity that scum such as the perveted maniac in this article is still breathing oxygen. Misplaced compassion for the wicked is cruelty to the innocent.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

Does seem like their middle name is usually Wayne though...

Think I'll skip the hotdogs tonite...

[Graybeard58]

Some people just need to be nullified.

[little jeremiah]

It certainly is unreasonable. He should be hanged, and then drawn and quartered. And then burned.

Yeah, but when does it become a human being? Is it a human being one second after conception? Maybe even before conception?

[DilJective]

To make sure that others with similar names are not confused with the wackos. I'm glad they do that.

Im assuming your tagline is a joke relating to the current thread...

Pre-conception humanity rights would require the criminalization of masturbation. Wet dreams would become mis-demeanors.

Your body was once a tiny clump of cells. Allowed to grow, that body got born and is now as you see in the mirror. It could never have grown into a banyan tree, a giraffe, or a sea sponge.

And unless it was killed, it would inevitably become a born baby.

Your point?
