PAWNEE - Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge suspended sentence to a man convicted of raping a 13-year-old.

The Jury had recommended a 30-year prison sentence.

One upset juror drove to the Pawnee County Courthouse and returned a check for $167.90 he received for serving on the jury.

"They didn't know what to do with it," said Bruce Funkhouser.

"Justice was not served by this at all," Funkhouser said.

Another mis-carriage of just! (Git a rope)

The juror should have taken that money and bought a Saturday Night Special and then give the criminal true justice.

Pawnee is about 100 miles nne of Oklahoma city.

What was this judge thinking? It certainly wasn't the child he was concerned with!

Hopefully, O'Reilly will add this Judge to his hit list.

[Don Carlos]

Ping! Who has the Oklahoma Ping list?

[technomage]

Hopefully, O'Reilly will add this Judge to his hit list.

At this rate that list will become mighty long, mighty fast.

[Don Carlos]

I'm sure the judge has a perfectly valid reason for his decision. NOT!

[right right]

Hey now, the guy may have had a rough childhood. Maybe he had to play dodgeball in grade school or was "it" in tag when he was vulnerable. Cut him some slack, ..................... then open the trap door.

As a father of two teenage daughters...well, justice would be served eventually. Trust me.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed sentencing standards, crazy sentencing by lenient judges can be expected. The Liberals got into power in the U.S. Supreme Court and we lost our property rights through Eminent Domain. The Progressives there said no standards and said OK to sodomy and rapists.

Brave new world, Huh?

The Supreme Court did not dismiss sentencing standards.

Bump!

They should make the pedophile live next to the judge's family. I too am stunned by this - there should be ZERO tolerance for child molesters - period.

"well, justice would be served eventually"

I'd like to think so. From the story, apparently the girl has a druggie mom and an absent dad. Lets see if this played a part in this mis-carriage of justice.

Were it my daughter, well lets just say I've got a shovel, a shotgun and ...

This sort of judge will never care until it happens to a child or grandchild in his own family.

I have a new Denny Crane quote: "Democrats take the elevator".

[TommyDale]

Find the convict, then announce publicly where he is...

[goldstategop]

Its time on "lock and load" boys - on bleeding heart liberal judges.

I wonder if the rapist was hot and a public school teacher?
