Hey you know what? Those judges suck, too. And while you are building those strawmen over there, can we still agree that electing any judges is fucked up?
I don't think you're swinging against the right target, brother. Jan Jurden was an appointed judge when she sentenced one of the duPont heirs to probation for raping a three year old; last year she was appointed and confirmed to lead the Delaware Superior Court. Suzanne Delvechio was an appointed judge when she allowed a gay teacher to receive only probation in return for pleading guilty to raping a fifteen year old student; she was later appointed and confirmed as Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Edward Cashman was an appointed Vermont judge when he sentenced an admitted serial child rapist to sixty days. There is no single outside factor for such judges - they are appointed and elected, Democrat and Republican, in very blue states and in very red states and in all shades of purple states. There might be consideration of wealth in as far as angering potential backers to move up or in buying enough legal talent to defend against conviction, but nothing that could possibly happen would ever make them look as bad in voters' eyes as these sham sentences. Failing to get a conviction in the face of formidable legal talent can be forgiven, but not these sentences.

This ass hat spending months in a Mexican prison while fighting extradition & 120 days in a cushy American juvie prison is a good thing. It's as close to justice as we're likely to get.
Because he's too stupid to see past the tip of his very entitled nose.
As opposed to a partisan appointment? Is there really a good way to select a judge?
He gets 120 days for fleeing, but what about the investigation into the video? If they find that he was actually drinking which is another strike towards violating probation, will he then have to serve the rest of his 28 year sentence?
If the teen violates the terms of his probation, he could be sent to prison for 10 years.
Where's this 28 yr sentence coming from? My understanding is that the number is ten years and that violating his probation can lead to him having to serve those yrs...not 120 days or 28 yrs:

He is currently in the juvenile system that either caps it at 120 day or is until his 19th birthday which is in 5? Months. Not sure what effect moving him to the adult system will have other than his next screw up will have much more severe consequences.
The article I posted was written when he was sentenced. He's eligible for ten yrs even as a juvenile. That's why he fled. Even he's not stupid enough to flee over 120 days
Supposedly he didn't even say that he was sorry to the family of the victims. Nothing! If this is true than he truly is a piece of shit.I have a feeling that this kid's good luck has just run out. It will be like when OJ got away with murder in the first trial and then got crucified in the second trial. The kid learned nothing the first around, this time he will be learn a great deal and it will be incredibly painful for him. He is going to get eaten alive.
From that link, the kid is fighting deportation, and it could take months. :thumbsdown:

The mom looks like a nut job. It's no wonder he acts the way he does in his life.
In the kid's defense, his frontal lobes haven't closed yet. Empathy is not one of the finer attributes of teens.
This is true. It's actually why none of the children rescued from the island that "Lord of the Flies" was based on we're ever convicted of any crimes.

WTF kind of dope are you taking?
That must have been some party.

Plus, the fact remains, it ain't true. The book was mainly inspired by his experiences in the war and somewhat as a reaction to the novel Coral Island.
True that. I blame HDS (Humorless Dick Syndrome.)so what you are saying is that the children in "lord of the flies" were never charged in real court over what they did since they were not real?
so in a sense what Nabor said is true? lol
you guys bitch about the silliest things.

He claimed that the book was based on a true story. It wasn't. I pointed it out and he apparently didn't appreciate it. Simple as that.
