A seven-time convicted felon who sexually abused his girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter, got her pregnant and took lewd photographs of her was sentenced to life in prison Friday.
..
The jury of five men and seven women deliberated about 90 minutes Friday morning before convicting the lifetime criminal of aggravated sexual assault of a child and 11 counts of possession of child pornography.
The jury recommended that Witt be sentenced to life for the sexual assault, 60 years in prison for each of eight counts of child pornography that showed the girl’s breasts and 80 years in prison for each of three photos that showed the girl’s genitals.
The pornography counts stem from nude photographs Witt took of the girl during their six-month odyssey as transient thieves traveling through four states that began in late 2003, just weeks after Witt was released from prison.
...
The girl’s mother, Rebecca Linton, met Witt while she was a secretary at an Oklahoma prison where he was serving time. She is serving a seven-year federal prison term for aiding and abetting the production of child pornography.
.....
Witt’s attorney, Russ Hunt Sr., asked jurors to find him not guilty because, despite Witt’s admissions that he had sex with the girl in four states and five major cities, prosecutors failed to prove he had sex with the girl in McLennan County.
...
“I feel sorry for Donnie because Donnie is just kind of a low-level criminal, and, unfortunately, he fell in love with a girl and didn’t have enough sense to say, ‘Hey, she is too young,’ ” Hunt said.

Sad part is the guy could actually get out after 68 years.
Hard to imagine he would do anything like this....

Life in prison...
Not long enough!
I guess I overlooked that she is in prison for aiding and abeting. Only 7 years though. She should be in there for much longer.
Obviously our prison system is too nice if the people that work there don't mind getting put on the other side of the bars.
Unless the sentences are end to end.

This guys statement is worse than any I have heard...even the worst democrat. Does anyone else see how insane this statement is for a lawyer to say.
Perhaps, methinks he'll have a rough time trying to find a place to "sit" comfortably after 68 years. That's some small comfort. Thanks for posting an article that shows a measure of justice can be delivered now and then.
This defense attorney is really stretching it by saying that the perp didn't have enough sense to say "she's too young" considering the perp is a 48 y/o man!
What is this sick pervert doing running around loose and alive?
The mother has to be a nitwit and should be thrown in the slammer as well!
Mullet wearing bastard. He should get death just for that.
Amen!
She should get life too. She brought the scumbag into her daughter's life. She allowed the entire scenario of rape and porn to take place because she FAILED TO PROTECT HER OWN DAUGHTER.
The judges and juries almost always let off women....they cry so well (Practice.) and sucker judge and jury alike.
If it weren't for mommy-dearest there would have been no rapist or pornographer in the house.
This article is sparse and gives the impression the 13 yo girl was having fun along with this bush league Bonnie and Clyde
"Unless the sentences are end to end."
According to the article the guy would be eligble for parole after a total of 68 years. Thats a combination of federal time and subsequent state time. I think the judge did pretty well ensuring this slime will never be on our streets again.
MOMMY should get life too. She brought the scumbag into her daughter's life. She allowed the entire scenario of rape and porn to take place because she FAILED TO PROTECT HER OWN DAUGHTER.

The defense attorney is only doing his job -defending the undefendable.
"And while we are at it we should put the defense attorney in jail."
I agree this is a tragic case and the guilty deserve to rot in prison. I fail to see why we should put the defence attorney in jail. The attorney may be defending a malicious criminal, but by doing so he is also defending our constitution.
Wishful thinking on my part. I think each crime deserves its own sentence, and not be shared with others.
