Sum of story..
Judge decides punishment is pointless, so he gives a rapist 60 days in jail for raping a child for four years straight. Not only did he rape her, but he and a friend gang-raped her. The justice system has went to hell at this point.

wow, quite bizarre and I am not sure what to comment...
-
It does seem outrageous, but when you read it you can see his thinking. He wanted to rush him through jail and get him into treatment. They wouldn\'t treat him while he was in prison.
In sentencing Hulett to 60 days, Cashman warned the defendant would get life behind bars if he failed to undergo treatment or comply with other conditions, including a prohibition against alcohol or living in an apartment complex that allows children.
I still think he was too lenient. At least get that fucker off the streets for the four years he spent molesting that girl...

I can see his basic idea, but no matter that, all he done is screw the girl over. This is a child, who was raped for four years and now her rapist will be back on the streets within 60 days. That is pathetic. It should also be noted that this judge has had problems before, once he made a rape victim crime and he also had quit doin\' divorce cases due to biased against women or some nonsense.

"Treatment" is largely bullshit.
Half the time (probably a lot more) they end up doing it again.

You write like a journalist. "raping a child for four years straight."
He raped her 3 times it said in the article. You make it sound like they fucked every night.
Where did you see she was gang raped?
Don\'t let me give you the wrong idea. This is horrible and wrong. I just thought your choice of words was journalistic.
-
Don\'t slant the word journalist.
Maybe say, sensationalist.

LIC is emo. Get it right.

Was this guy a Catholic priest? Because vestments come with Get Out of Jail Free Cards If You Rape Children.

And you are taking the focus off the important issue.
Go figure.
I\'m sure if it was Logan, you wouldn\'t nitpick on how many times it was.
And saying they "fucked everynight". is obsecne and disgusting.
-
The guy should still be locked up. If this was some inner city rapist, he would have been given life in prison on his first offence.
-
"treatment?"...treatment for what?..this guy clearly knew what the f**k he was doin\' and now you want to send him to rehab? :confused: :mad:...wtf are you going to say to this cat? yo, f**k that! i\'m sure if this judge\'s daughter was raped even once this guy would be singin\' a different tune. sheeit if anybody even stares at my daughter wrong way i\'m crashin\' my fist thru his grill!...
-
Retarded and LIC\'s logic is that he now has a little girl, so he has a point saying four years. That girl is f\'d the rest of her life, however this guy will get out after 60 days and then go on to rape someone else and so on, dude needs to die, period I\'d rather see the death penalty for rape then murder sometimes.

Are you insinuating that I would ever let Logan sleep in a room with a 34 year old?
ANd I\'m not taking the focus off anything. I was just noting your choice of words.
This is a horrible thing the guy did and a horrible judgement to boot.
What are the odds that these are upper middle class white folk that live in an above average subdivision with a time share in the rockies?
-
hell...I was questioning vid\'s logic of letting me into his house after some of the sick shit I\'ve said on here....
and I was only 32.... ;)
-
I had a hidden trip wire in front of Logan\'s door. You were in my control... ;)

My point was it doesn\'t matter how it\'s phrased. It is still letting a guy off after he has raped a child and that should be the focus point. Not if they own a condo or a timeshare. Not if they are upper-class. The main factor is a judge, let a child down, a rape victim down. There is NO WAY to justify this and goin\' off subject over how I phrased something is idiotic.
And no, I was not saying anything about your parenting. I am positive you would not put your child in that situation, just as I would never do that with my daughters, but that isn\'t the point.
