-Two juvenile males were charged with raping a girl
-The animals took photos of her being raped and shared them with their friends
-They were taken to court and got a plea bargain, and in turn a light sentence
-The victim tweets the names of her attackers along with photos
-The defense attorneys tried to charge her with contempt of court (since apparently these poor widdle rapists deserve privacy) but dropped the charges when the entire public realized that would be ****ing stupid
Good grief, I'm glad the defense attorneys weren't TOTAL scumbags. Does anyone else find it god damn absurd that these two rapists are afforded more rights than a rape victim?
OP did you mean "liberal" in the generic sense?.
better topic for true crime.
Defense attorneys by nature are liberal, or they would want all their clients to get the death penalty, not defending it AT ALL, its why people with a modicum of a conscience do not finish law school.
Or, if they are sociopaths, they just go into politics.
We've seen decades of ever harsher criminal penalties being put in place by both parties so that the US now has some of the harshest penalties in the world and THE highest prison rate in the world. Yet... Here we have another rightie claiming that some how politicians in the US just aren't harsh enough on crime.
Buddy, I'm afraid you live in a fantasy world not the real world because this country is very tough on crime and that's why crime is at or near record lows. You've constructed a strawman here and you're not even able to knock down your own strawman.
Dion said the Kentucky law on gag orders in juvenile cases presupposes that information revealed came from reading the court record. In Dietrich's case, he noted, she was the victim, and she had independent knowledge of the crime.
Kentucky is hardly liberal, friend.
Just because someone plead guilty doesn't mean their rights to privacy is relinquished. Were they wrong for what they did to her, and sharing those photos? Yes, absolutely.
But do two wrongs make a right? Some people, many in fact, accused or guilty of rape can go on to lead a normal life. Was it a violent rape or drunken?

What exactly does that mean - "rapists are afforded more rights than a rape victim"?
Can you quantify that? Can you list the rights that you seem to think the rape victim does not have - that in your opinion, she should?
As for the rapists - it appears that due process was followed - a plea deal was offered and accepted. Maybe you have a problem with plea bargaining - but it saves alot of time and money - and without it our prisons would be even more crowded then they currently are.
