Returning the check cost you $167.90 but at least you got something for your money. We might not have heard about this case otherwise. Maybe media attention and public outrage will prevent the judge from making a similar decision in the future. And if Gregory Lynn Bryant's name becomes well known, people will become wary of him and it might even prevent another incident.
Oh I doubt if Bryant ever touches a child again because he was in jail for 4 months...looking at 30 years and he got away with little or nothing...Judge Sellers said he was powerless to grant a new trail unless the defense asked for it and they knew he would be convicted again in a new trail so they sure didn't want one.....Knowing that he knows he will now be watched like a hawk is of minor importance to me.....The fact that this courageous young girl was not rendered justice is what bothers me....If we don't protect the children, the elderly, the handicapped and disabled what kind of society have we become?
