Okay, I may get flamed for this, but I think the ladies' behavior is very female. Once they'd eliminated the threat, they started empathizing and then sympathizing with the perpetrator. I'll bet they feel partly responsible for the suffering he's about experience, and believe he could be rehabilitated (even, in extreme cases, by the love of a good woman). Not all women would respond this way, of course, but I think a sizeable percentage (maybe 2/3?) would.

Men, even if they thought the sentence was excessive, would be more likely to shrug and say, "Don't do the crime..." Men are more likely to focus on the cause-and-effect of the situation, and less likely to get emotionally involved in it.

Whats happened hear is that some Pastor hasnt gotten to them. Also this was a very funny case in Shreveport that got lots of news. TO make sure no one in the the DA's office got in trouble they followed the law to the t as to the realtively new victim assistance rights legislation. Prob the DA consulted too much lol esp when they were talking about the multiple offender law,
