Lots of laws can be screwy... so for the purpos of discussion im just talkin about personal opinions of how people shoud be treeted... for example... i dont thank anybody deserves punishment.!!!
You don't think they deserve any punishment? I am trying to figure out the whole point of this thread,
since only 3 out of 100 rapists get to see the inside of a jail cell:
Only three out of every 100 rapists will ever spend even a single day in prison, according to a new analysis by RAINN of Justice Department data. The other 97 will walk free, facing no consequences for the violent felony they have committed. Because rapists tend to be serial criminals, this leaves communities across the nation at risk of predators.
So I don't quite get why you have started this thread? How should they be treated? Earlier on, you said that some should be pitied.. Frankly, I don't really want to dwell on your desire to pity rapists, so we'll just go with this statement that you don't think anybody deserves punishment..
The heir to the du Pont fortune pled guilty in 2009 to charges of raping his three-year old daughter, but never spent time in jail
Newly released documents reveal that in 2009 a Delaware judge sentenced a wealthy heir to probation after he admitted he had raped his 3-year old daughter, saying the rich white man would “not do well” in prison.
You don't think he deserves any punishment?
He also
sexually molested his 19 month old son during the same period. Do you think he deserves some punishment? Or your pity? What about his kids, who he raped and sexually molested? Where is their justice?
How about
this guy:
An Alabama man convicted of raping a teenage girl will serve no prison time. On Wednesday, a judge in Athens, Alabama, ruled that the rapist will be punished by serving two years in a program aimed at nonviolent criminals and three years of probation.
In September, a jury in Limestone County, in north central Alabama, found Austin Smith Clem, 25, guilty of raping Courtney Andrews, a teenage acquaintance and his then-neighbor, three times—twice when she was 14, and again when was she was 18.
Clem's defense attorney did not call any witnesses at trial, according to AL.com. After less than two hours of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Clem on one count of first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape.
According to Clem's sentencing order, which Brian Jones, the Limestone County district attorney, provided to Mother Jones, Clem will serve the first half of his sentence under the supervision of the Limestone County community corrections program. The program is aimed at "redirecting the lives" of nonviolent, low-level offenders who are "likely to maintain a productive and law-abiding life as a result of accountability, guidance and direction to services they need," according to the program's website.
Andrews recalled Clem's crimes to AL.com on Thursday. When he abused her at age 14, she said, "He kept saying, 'This is okay,' and 'Don't say anything or you're going to get me in trouble,'" she said. Clem threatened her parents lives' if she told anyone, Andrews said. After he raped her in 2011, she had a family friend inform her parents. She couldn't bear to, she said, because "I knew it would break their hearts." That night, her parents reported Clem to the police.
Dan Totten, Clem's defense attorney, confirms that Clem is free to live at home during this time period. Jones adds that the program requires Clem to report to his corrections officer on a weekly basis.
"It would seem to be relatively mild," Totten tells Mother Jones. "But [Clem's] lifestyle for the next six years is going to be very controlled…If he goes to a party and they're serving beer, he can't say, 'Can I have one?' If he wanted to go across the Tennessee line, which as the crow flies is eight or nine miles from his house, and buy a lottery ticket, he can't do that…It's not a slap on the wrist."
Aww.. he can't go to a party if there is alcohol there or cross state lines.. Poor him, how awful for him.
But the judge sent him home to live with his three little daughters.
Appropriate?
