Baby Raped: Will Justice be served?
Man gets four years in rape of baby
KENT -- The son of Washington state's corrections chief was sentenced to four years in prison yesterday for raping his 2-month-old daughter.
Joseph Lehman Jr., 38, pleaded guilty in October in a plea bargain, hoping to avoid a prison term. King County prosecutors had recommended six months in jail and at least three years of treatment for sexual deviancy.
But Superior Court Judge Ronald Kessler decided on the four-year prison term because Lehman has a criminal record. The standard state sentence for first-degree child rape is seven to 10 years.
Lehman's father, Joseph Lehman Sr., has headed the Department of Corrections for six years.
That last comment was for you, sorry!
(and I was wrong on the baby's age - she was 2 months old when she was assaulted... she was 9 months oldER when I read about her nightmares.)
God...this makes me physically ill. I almost couldn't read it. The worst part is I always feel so helpless and the anger has no place to go. Lord help us...
I remember crying over this story 15 years ago, just like now.
200 strokes of a rattan cane soaked in brine.
Then bury them.
How could he do that????
Three weeks, she waited????
I've already stated my views on what should happen to these people, and yes the mother too. She became the monster in those three weeks she waited. Did she not seek medical care for her child?
I would have killed him. He had to sleep sometime, if I didn't think I could do it while he was awake. I would incapacitate him while he slept, then woke that POS up and made him suffer.
This is sickening. But quite typical of the LIBERAL mind set. They think they can rehab anyone given ENOUGH MONEY. Some folks can't be rehabbed......only 2 things work EXECUTION and incarceration. I perfer EXECUTION.
Thanks so much cgk. I put child molesters and abusers right down in the demon pit with terrorists. They should ALL be eliminated in the most dreaded way possible.
ckg, I think some of these judges that do this (like what happened to Bradley) will someday face judgement. A judgement far greater than what they would receive here on earth. IMHO.
Malkin is my favorite columnist. Thank you Mrs. Malkin for caring enough to write this story and to take on the establishment. Nothing hurts me more than to hear about children being hurt. Damn I wish I could have just two minutes to inflict my own punishment on these heinous individuals who hurt these innocent children. The court seems to always have sympothy for the guilty and not the innocent.
This is not justice.
Why is this vermin allowed to live another day?
"This is not justice."
Did you ever see "The Star Chamber"?
Lord God help us! Accept this poor innocent child into your loving arms.
And they're still alive.....why?
It's outrageously bizarre! Our courts are a joke!
Stories like this make me fantasize about the societal benefits of vigilanteeism.
we had a thread yesterday were some weed dealer in possession of a gun got 55 years and no parole in the Feds.
salt lake I think.
something is very wrong here.
Incredible. What would be "sufficient evidence"?
This is the natural result of the culture of DEATH, instead of LIFE. It creeps in through abortion,euthanasia, etc. Tha's why it ALL has to be stopped.
