Did yall read above that 1 Mexican they apprehended in texas had been convicted of RAPING A CHILD and only got 9 months in jail in washington st? Wtf is wrong with our country? You will do a year in prison easy for a gram of coke or heroin if you have ever been in any trouble before...get charged with trafficking for 2 grams or more, which is only 2 days worth for the average junkie...thats mandatory 5 years fed time...but you can RAPE A CHILD and get 9 months? Seriously? That should be a life sentence..as in 20 years, 17 years mandatory for a fed charge. Raping a child...slap on the wrist? He just ruined that kids life...will have mental and maybe physical scars for life. 9 months? That was probably time served by the time he went from the county jail to his trial date...so he likely never even went to prison. For raping a damn kid. What is wrong with this country? What kind of liberal judge slapped his wrist? Why is there not a mandatory federal sentence for that heinous crime but there is for dope charges? I would love to say that a conservative judge down here in the Bible belt wouldn't ever let that happen...but DAs and judges get bribed here, too...a guy that was my BILs dealer got popped with 4 or 5 grams of heroin, in separate bags, charged with trafficking which has 5 year mandatory...was already on probation from prior dope charges..his lawyer said 20 grand to defend him. Guy tells lawyer that he can't do any time, has a kid on the way...lawyer says OK, 40 grand. Ends up getting charges reduced to nearly nothing, pleads out...got probation run concurrent with probation he was already on...that leaves no doubt that the other 20 grand went to the DA for sure to reduce the charges, and probably the judge too, to get him to just give probation concurrent to a known drug dealer...basically he got nothing at all as the penalty other than the 40k and whatever bond money he had to pay a bondsman. Thats our justice system. Rich man is above the law, poor people usually get hung by public defenders. The system is broken.
