“Why a plea deal here.”
I’m just speculating, but a plea deal here may be the “right thing” for the victims. If this case went to trial, one or more of the victims likely would have had to testify (while there is likely enough physical evidence to convict on some charges, victim testimony would be necessary to show the extent of what he did, etc.) Putting the victims through the misery of having to re-live what happened, testify about it, and be subject to cross-examination may not be worth it, even if they could get a death sentence for this guy.
Frankly, I’m a bit surprised this guy even took a plea. I half expected the sick f*ck (pardon my language, thinking about this guy brings out the worst in me) to take this to trial, simply to force the victims to testify.
I believe your two posts were similar enough to respond to both of you with one reply.
There is a case to be made that this will lessen the victim’s exposure to more pain. I am not here to be mean to the victims. It’s my take that going in and telling the public exactly what this man did to them personally, is the best way possible for them to get their pound of flesh and make this man pay the sort of penalty his actions merit.
A swift trial, a frank accounting from these women, a conviction and the swift carrying out of justice is just what the doctor ordered to remedy this guy’s crimes and to make others considering this sort of thing to refuse to do it to avoid the penalty.
You may see this as very inappropriate, but I actually think these women owe it to other women to pursue justice in this case. There is a certain segment of our society that needs to be put on notice, our society WILL NOT rest until you are dead if you dare do something like this.
Nobody can do that for women, if the women who are abused in this manner won’t take every advantage they can to make sure these men pay the ultimate penalty.
