"This article is sparse and gives the impression the 13 yo girl was having fun along with this bush league Bonnie and Clyde"

I'm fairly new to posting and was trying to pull the best parts out of the article itself. Click on the link and read the whole thing. A fair example of what the media should be doing instead of their normal propaganda.

What? No charges under the Mann Act? Interstate transportation of an underage girl for sexual purposes?

I really doubt the guy will be pursuing his life of crime if he's out in 68 years, making him at least 89 by that time.

"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 statement below is why he should be jailed.

“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.

"Unless the sentences are end to end."




His new roommates are going to sentence him "end to end", if you know what I mean.

This is a case where 3 ropes are needed! One for Witt! One for the mother of the child! And one for the stupid excuse of a defense attorney!

He'll have to live to 116 to get out in 68 years.

He got a life sentence.

A seven-time convicted felon who sexually abused his girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter...

1. What is this sick pervert doing running around loose and alive?
2. The mother has to be a nitwit and should be thrown in the slammer as well!

Excellent points.
1. SEVEN-time felon? WHY isn't he still in prison? I thought felonies gave LONG term sentences.

2. MOMMY DEAREST was dating this scumbag and brought him into her HOME with a 13-year-old daugher?! She should be in the slammer for life as well -- "mommy dearest" failed to protect her daughter...and really is too stupid to live. How were scumbag and daughter ever left alone? I just don't get it. She's as guilty as the scumbag and deserves life. Her job IN LIFE is to protect her vulnerable, innoncent babies. She was dating a seven-time felon?! She left him ALONE with her daughter? Then let him do PORNO with her daughter....and aided and abetted him?!

How can the men on this thread bear the thought that this MOMMY-DEAREST is only in prison for seven years? SHE SET THE WHOLE THING UP!

He's 48. That will make him 116 when he's eligible...

She had twins, a boy and a girl. They have been adopted.

I'll post a link to the source here in a bit.

"What happened to the baby?"

Babies, she had twins and she put them up for adoption. The girl is living with relatives and in school. Hopefully these relatives are the good side of the family. Full article makes it sound like she's doing ok.

You're right!

Had this perverted crime been committed in a country, like Singapore, that is dedicated to punishing criminals and has absolutely no patience with sexual predators these two would get about 100 lashes with the brine-soaked rattan cane.

They probably wouldn't live through that, but if they did they'd spend the rest of their lives at very hard labor!

What they did to this 13-year-old's life (literally making it a hell on earth) warrants drastic punishment.

Regarding Witt(less)

Witt testified Thursday he saw nothing wrong with the sexual relationship he had with the girl.

He told jurors he had grown up in an abusive household and had been sexually abused as a child.

He said he isn’t crazy, but has three personalities: A woman, a street-wise man, and Donnie Witt.

If he comes out of prison at 116 still feeling frisky, he should be turned over to science for study.

Ok, so the other two personalities should get the death penalty for not turning Witt in to the police.

The article never really makes up its mind between a "sexual assault" and a "romantic relationship" (says both).

And while we are at it we should put the defense attorney in jail.

While he "...is protecting the Constitution...", he is getting paid for a job he could turn down. (But didn't).

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.

Note to self... Next time I work at a prison, try to remember that it might not be such a good idea to date the inmates.
