!st let me start by telling you that I experienced as a mother the feelings that happen when your child is molested. It is as upsetting(lack of better word) as it is when you them from your life,unfortunatly that happened also. So I know the anger,shock,rage,symathy,protective mode,etc. that goes in to play when you first hear that it happened. Then the nightmares,therapy for child,in my case,me too. Okay just to let you know I do not sympathise with this man or any human,sick or not.
If it is looked at from a point of law,the prosecutors in many cases know they are not going to get a conviction. If they go for a charge that would be considered fair,like life

and lose,the offender walks totally free,not banded as a child molester. So hard as it is at times,if the DA feels there is any chance of finding the offender guilty,putting a life long child molester tag on him,they at times will go for a much less plea,because better that then nothing at all.The judge follows the prosecutors suggestion very often.He ?she knows the prosecutor knows much more about the case then he/she does and follows recommendation. I was not a part of this whole horrific case. I was not there,but have read all possible about the case from a legal standpoint.
Yes it is unjust,I have found the entire legal system to be unjust many times. Why the blindfold?She is embarressed to be holding the scales that stand for fairness.
So if it makes anyone feel any better who believes in revenge,people who go to prison for child molestation get molested usually gang style in prison. Often guards look the other way. Many are killed within months after being in prison by another inmate. So he didn't get off so free.I feel it is sick,and

many times when I am informed of such acts. He deserves much more,But as I said,is this not better than a total walk free card?
He (if) he makes it out of prison will have people to deal with on the outside. Not advocating vigilantes,but it happens.
