Mullet wearing bastard. He should get death just for that.

A seven-time convicted felon who sexually abused his girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter, got her pregnant and took lewd photographs of her was sentenced to life in prison Friday.
..
The jury of five men and seven women deliberated about 90 minutes Friday morning before convicting the lifetime criminal of aggravated sexual assault of a child and 11 counts of possession of child pornography.
The jury recommended that Witt be sentenced to life for the sexual assault, 60 years in prison for each of eight counts of child pornography that showed the girl’s breasts and 80 years in prison for each of three photos that showed the girl’s genitals.
The pornography counts stem from nude photographs Witt took of the girl during their six-month odyssey as transient thieves traveling through four states that began in late 2003, just weeks after Witt was released from prison.
...
The girl’s mother, Rebecca Linton, met Witt while she was a secretary at an Oklahoma prison where he was serving time. She is serving a seven-year federal prison term for aiding and abetting the production of child pornography.
.....
Witt’s attorney, Russ Hunt Sr., asked jurors to find him not guilty because, despite Witt’s admissions that he had sex with the girl in four states and five major cities, prosecutors failed to prove he had sex with the girl in McLennan County.
...
“I feel sorry for Donnie because Donnie is just kind of a low-level criminal, and, unfortunately, he fell in love with a girl and didn’t have enough sense to say, ‘Hey, she is too young,’ ” Hunt said.

Sad part is the guy could actually get out after 68 years.
Hard to imagine he would do anything like this....

Life in prison...
Not long enough!
I guess I overlooked that she is in prison for aiding and abeting. Only 7 years though. She should be in there for much longer.
Obviously our prison system is too nice if the people that work there don't mind getting put on the other side of the bars.
Unless the sentences are end to end.

This guys statement is worse than any I have heard...even the worst democrat. Does anyone else see how insane this statement is for a lawyer to say.
Perhaps, methinks he'll have a rough time trying to find a place to "sit" comfortably after 68 years. That's some small comfort. Thanks for posting an article that shows a measure of justice can be delivered now and then.
This defense attorney is really stretching it by saying that the perp didn't have enough sense to say "she's too young" considering the perp is a 48 y/o man!
What is this sick pervert doing running around loose and alive?
The mother has to be a nitwit and should be thrown in the slammer as well!
Mullet wearing bastard. He should get death just for that.
Amen!
She should get life too. She brought the scumbag into her daughter's life. She allowed the entire scenario of rape and porn to take place because she FAILED TO PROTECT HER OWN DAUGHTER.
The judges and juries almost always let off women....they cry so well (Practice.) and sucker judge and jury alike.
If it weren't for mommy-dearest there would have been no rapist or pornographer in the house.
This article is sparse and gives the impression the 13 yo girl was having fun along with this bush league Bonnie and Clyde
"Unless the sentences are end to end."
According to the article the guy would be eligble for parole after a total of 68 years. Thats a combination of federal time and subsequent state time. I think the judge did pretty well ensuring this slime will never be on our streets again.
MOMMY should get life too. She brought the scumbag into her daughter's life. She allowed the entire scenario of rape and porn to take place because she FAILED TO PROTECT HER OWN DAUGHTER. The judges and juries almost always let off women....they cry so well (Practice.) and sucker judge and jury alike. If it weren't for mommy-dearest there would have been no rapist or pornographer in the house.
The defense attorney is only doing his job -defending the undefendable.
"And while we are at it we should put the defense attorney in jail."
I agree this is a tragic case and the guilty deserve to rot in prison. I fail to see why we should put the defence attorney in jail. The attorney may be defending a malicious criminal, but by doing so he is also defending our constitution.
Wishful thinking on my part. I think each crime deserves its own sentence, and not be shared with others.
"This article is sparse and gives the impression the 13 yo girl was having fun along with this bush league Bonnie and Clyde"
I'm fairly new to posting and was trying to pull the best parts out of the article itself. Click on the link and read the whole thing. A fair example of what the media should be doing instead of their normal propaganda.
What? No charges under the Mann Act? Interstate transportation of an underage girl for sexual purposes?
"I agree this is a tragic case and the guilty deserve to rot in prison. I fail to see why we should put the defence attorney in jail."
The statement below is why he should be jailed.

What happened to the baby?
He'll have to live to 116 to get out in 68 years.
He got a life sentence.
1. What is this sick pervert doing running around loose and alive?
2. The mother has to be a nitwit and should be thrown in the slammer as well!
Excellent points.
1. SEVEN-time felon? WHY isn't he still in prison? I thought felonies gave LONG term sentences.
2. MOMMY DEAREST was dating this scumbag and brought him into her HOME with a 13-year-old daugher?! She should be in the slammer for life as well -- "mommy dearest" failed to protect her daughter...and really is too stupid to live. How were scumbag and daughter ever left alone? I just don't get it. She's as guilty as the scumbag and deserves life. Her job IN LIFE is to protect her vulnerable, innoncent babies. She was dating a seven-time felon?! She left him ALONE with her daughter? Then let him do PORNO with her daughter....and aided and abetted him?!
How can the men on this thread bear the thought that this MOMMY-DEAREST is only in prison for seven years? SHE SET THE WHOLE THING UP!
I'll post a link to the source here in a bit.
"What happened to the baby?"
Babies, she had twins and she put them up for adoption. The girl is living with relatives and in school. Hopefully these relatives are the good side of the family. Full article makes it sound like she's doing ok.
You're right!
Had this perverted crime been committed in a country, like Singapore, that is dedicated to punishing criminals and has absolutely no patience with sexual predators these two would get about 100 lashes with the brine-soaked rattan cane.
They probably wouldn't live through that, but if they did they'd spend the rest of their lives at very hard labor!
What they did to this 13-year-old's life (literally making it a hell on earth) warrants drastic punishment.
Witt testified Thursday he saw nothing wrong with the sexual relationship he had with the girl.
He told jurors he had grown up in an abusive household and had been sexually abused as a child.
He said he isn’t crazy, but has three personalities: A woman, a street-wise man, and Donnie Witt.
If he comes out of prison at 116 still feeling frisky, he should be turned over to science for study.
"He said he isn’t crazy, but has three personalities: A woman, a street-wise man, and Donnie Witt."
Ok, so the other two personalities should get the death penalty for not turning Witt in to the police.
The article never really makes up its mind between a "sexual assault" and a "romantic relationship" (says both).
While he "...is protecting the Constitution...", he is getting paid for a job he could turn down. (But didn't).
Note to self... Next time I work at a prison, try to remember that it might not be such a good idea to date the inmates.

Soon, people like this will be a protected "victim group" recognized by the ACLU and DNC. I'm not kidding. Homosexuals who want the right to have underage boys have found ACLU protection in court.
What's this country coming to?
They should have sentenced him to a messy surgical procedure with a rusty butter knife.
Seems someone could have loaned them a rope, they obviously don't have one.
They should send this guy to the chair.
Ok, what I want to know is this:
What did the jury do for the last 85 minutes?
Dunno, but I think a magnum of champagne might have been involved...

Hardly likely to live so long...
Oh, well, SURE, then! I mean, the crime's doin' this stuff in McLennan County! Everywhere else's fair game!
