Maybe she needed a new vacation home.
Have you ever noticed how Occupy Wall Street types rant and rave about the "1%" because they think that businesses aren't taxed enough, but they never seem to complain much about real abuses of power by the wealthy and well-connected such as this one. Must be because these guys hedge their bets by giving money to the "right" candidates and party.
I wonder how much DuPont money went into Joe Biden's slush funds over the years.
These things tend to happen when the judge looks across the bench and sees someone very much like himself or his loved ones. People that don’t look like him? Not so much.
What a country.
He’s free to continue on his way to converting to Islam.
The Judge looks like a Serbelius type.
I imagine he would fare as well in prison as a toddler would under his care. I’m okay with that.
“You get the justice you can afford”
And the juries you deserve.
How many people brag about getting out of jury duty and then moan about how silly juries are in letting the guilty go free or assess no real punishment.
Conservative should be eager to serve on a jury. . .they would be fair, honest and assess based on fact, not emotion when considering guilt or innocence.
Conservative would not be ‘bought’ by a fancy lawyer’s arguments. Conservatives THINK, not feel when evaluating evidence and facts.
This country is beginning to really suck.
This wasn’t a jury problem. He WAS convicted. The judge decided the sentence.
Even more infuriating is that Mitt Romney made his millions while Kennedy, Pelosi and Kerry, et al, either inherited their fortunes - or married into them.
I don’t think the girl will “fair well” after being raped. She’s getting a life sentence and this guy gets off free.
See the Post I was replying to.
It was a comment that was commented on about the justice system..
First question is why would he only get a sentence of 8 yrs. to start with? Second thing is this: how many WOULD “fare well” in prison? This smells bad.
