Every so often, as we monitor these cases and discover their dispositions, we think the public should know what happened. Here are some recent ones that we think you might find of interest:

Laura, you are in it up to your eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteIncredible that these people walk...the reduction of charges!
Can you say TACIT APPROVAL? Is there any wonder why the violence not only continues but escalates?
Hi Laura, I'm curious about the 1,200 counts of molestation. Could you talk a little bit about how they make such multiple charges? Is it based on the child's testimony?
ReplyDeleteIt is terribly disappointing when judges and prosecutors permit child molesters to plead down to one offense from multiple charges. Then that number enters the statistical universe, enabling academicians and prisoner's rights activists to argue that recidivism is not a problem with most sex offenders.
If only the courts would recognize this ramification of their actions.
