Cohen is simply wrong. A pervert or child abuser in prison for life will never again abuse a kid. That's enough deterrent right there to ensure passage of the increase in sentencing.
DING DING DING DING!
I remember a Wizard of Id cartoon from years ago. The king had just senteneced a man to death. The man's last words to the king were, "Capital punishment doesn't deter crime." The king responded, "I'll believe that when I see you again."
Understand his point. He's not talking about a predator or repeat offender. I believe the Dad should be charged with murder and don't understand, even after reading the IDIOTIC explanation, of why he's not. This guy wasn't a predator, he's a murderer. THAT law needs changing as the threshold is too high.
