after serving part of a 45-year sentence for convictions involving a 1982 sexual attack on a woman ...

45 years for rape? What do you get for second degree murder in that state? Talk about lack of proportionality.

I would guess that "sexual attack" and "rape" are two different crimes.

He served time for more than just the rape.

"The jury took less than two hours in convicting Briscoe of rape, sodomy, robbery, burglary, stealing and three counts of armed criminal action."

I've never had it adequately explained to me why a person can commit one crime, but be charged with breaking several laws. For example, one might be charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, assault, kidnapping and possibly more. It seems to me that the crime is just murder.

Isn't that crazy??? The rapist would get less time if he would have killed her afterward...And maybe wouldn't have ever gotten caught...Quite an incentive to murder your victim
