As much as I detest the kennedys, and I really detest them all, this crime was committed by this scumbag when he was 15 years-old. I recognize that he never came forward as an adult to admit his guilt but I believe his fifth amendment rights mean he doesn’t have to. That said, I don’t understand the legal theory that holds him responsible as an adult for a crime he committed as a minor. I think sentencing should reflect the responsibility we expect from a minor.
I’m not losing any sleep over his fate tho...
Here are the State of Connecticut deliberations on the matter: http://www.ct.gov/csao/cwp/view.asp?q=286828
