our justice system seems to be more of a job market for lawyers then anything to do with right and wrong
Every person has the right to an advocate (defense lawyers) on their behalf in the eyes of the law (Court System) - otherwise we'd just be throwing people in jail for the hell of it (prosecutors)
They're just doing their jobs - it's the people who vote, politicans and what who actually make the laws and the sentencing guidelines
In washington for all felonies we have sentencing guidelines - if it's your first offense with no sexcual motivation the judge is requided to sentence you to 0 - 60 days mandatory $1000 fine and from there it goes up and up and up
also whether it was sexually motivated crime, intent, blah blah blah
Basically I think it's set up ok for the most part - you just can't go throwing every sex criminal away for life because there's so many different factors as to why a person commits the crime - maybe he was on drugs or off his drugs
Oh my...speaking of - Kirkland is up in arms over the 4 person murder / Arson this last month - the guy who did it was blacked out on Liquor when he murdered the kids and 2 girls and then burned the house down <-- wow
Oh here we go - the kids were 3 and 5
FYI Norm Maleng doesn't think he did it in a black out - who know
