65 years in prison....Yipee!!

I totally agree! She is in very good spirits, & says it doesn't bother her anymore, But.....
She had to get rid of all of her animals after the attack, because she was bed ridden so long. I got 8 beautiful Seramas & my boss took the goats. The Chuckars were (ahem) accidentally let loose by some unruly, misbehaving kids. That hurt her so much. Her son in Texas took the turkey home with him. She can still visit with her animals when she visits, & you can see her just glow when she sees them.

I believe that anyone convicted of a crime like this or molesting a child should be dealt with fairly! I think a small cut on the underside of each foot washed very well with Mercury would be fantastic! Then a good beating each morning with an old pool cue stick should do it! After all, anything else would be uncivilized!JMHO!!

I don't think he should have received a 65-year sentence.


They should have taken him outside the Courtroom and shot him dead.

(Then the tax-payers wouldn't have to support that SCUM for the next 65 years.)

I don't understand your comment above which I have highlighted in bold. Would you explain, please?

Also, you seem to say in your later post that the judge gave a heavier sentence because one of the accused was acquitted. Did I understand that correctly?

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

No need to explain, "money can get you what you want"
My boss told me that the judge said that he tacked on 20 years, "for the brother". The judge had the right to double his sentence, so 20 more was added. Whether it was legal to do that because the brother got off, I don't know, but at the same time, I'm glad it happened.

Sucks the other brother got off..
but im thrilled that the other one got hit hard!

So, if the victim's family was poor and the thug was wealthy he could have got a lighter sentence or acquittal? Is that fair? Did money influence the judge in this case?

How is it right for the judge to, in effect, override the verdict of a jury by increasing the sentence for someone found guilty.

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

Don't know.....don't care. I would NEVER even think of standing up for the convicted! Are you a lawyer?

 

[Junkmanme]

Thaiturkey...

Juries do NOT do the SENTENCING. They decide guilt or innocence.

The JUDGE does the sentencing.
