Again, guilty of what? The law has to be in the books before you can break it.
I thought it was 400. Yes, maybe I'd consider a $750 fine worth a shot at fighting against. I won't speculate on his reasoning. For all we know, he tried to fight it for the same reason he committed this non-crime of the century in the first place: "God told him to". And even without the difference in how much money it would cost to fight it, it's still an ordeal that takes up far more time and effort to fight than to just plead guilty, even after you've already started fighting. Maybe even moreso, because you've seen firsthand how long it's likely to drag out.
The reason I'm not focusing on things we can say make him more suspicious is that there are also things that make him less suspicious. Things like him being a family man, married with three kids of his own (two of them being girls). If he did manage to kidnap someone, it's not like he can take them home! And even if tried to take them to a motel, he's got people expecting him to be a certain place at a certain time. Hardly a situation conducive to a kidnapping lifestyle.
But of course we don't want to look at any of that, just like we don't want to acknowledge that there wasn't even the accusation of a crime in the first place, apart from maybe "We felt this way". Thought a crime was something a person DID, not something their alleged victim FELT... if even that sort of talk was put forth by the two girls in the police report. So far, I'm not seeing any evidence of it. I liken this to getting your car searched because you broke the law of driving a blue car on Saturday.
I don't know what he's guilty of! None of the articles said anything other than disorderly conduct. Obviously there is more than meets the eye from the links posted here, since he WAS fined ~$700 and he's been put on two years' probation. All of your arguments support that. If you think what you've read here on CD is the total story, you have another think coming for sure! I can't understand anyone being so obtuse!
It would seem, no one on the planet does, or ever will
