God you're stupid. If you made each picture one count, then people with 10 pictures will wind up in prison longer than someone like Westerfield who actually kidnaps, rapes, and murders a child.
I can understand your outrage but mindless comments like yours are just ridiculous. It's supposed to be a justice system where people are punished according to the severity of their crime.
If you let pedophiles know that you'll punish them more for looking at pictures than you will for actually kidnapping and murdering children, what do you expect to happen?
I'll return the compliment: you're an idiot.
So what if they're charged with more than one count? Why is it any skin off your nose? Why are you defending pedophiles? Identify with them, perhaps? (Remember, you started the flame war when you called me "stupid," so I'm sure you can take it.)
It's mere slothfulness on the part of the prosecutor--the prosecutor charges the slime with one count, embarasses the pedophile by publishing his name, then plea bargains the charge down from a felony to a misdemeanor, a little jail time (if any), a little fine, maybe a year or so probation--all worked out in the back room, no harm, no foul--and after they're off paper, they're back in business.

Interesting, about the mindless comments ..I must have missed the trial and conviction of Westerfield, I thought in this country he was innocent untill proven guilty in a court of law...
