This kind of thing happens all the time. From a good family? With money for a good attorney? You will get a better deal.

But the idiot judge should have kept his idiot comments to himself.

[Retvet]

Bull excrement!

[Grimmy]

I wonder how much money was donated to this judge’s favorite “charity” by that kid’s family?

[Fast Moving Angel]

Long-term damage to HIM? What about the long-term damage to HER?

[bigbob]

Apparently they wanted her to smell nice for her first rape?

[DesertRhino]

Was she drunk? Or did they drug her? The article said she woke up not knowing what happened.

[Kriggerel]

...And how is this any different than when folks from the lower end of the economic stratum are screaming to anyone, who will listen: “He a gud boi! He dindu nuffin!” So, when you’re rich that becomes: “They’re from a good family.”

Uhm, yeah.

[falcon99]

Just another example of how our legal system with these idiot judges is our of control.

[NonValueAdded]

From a good family? Like a Kennedy?

[buckalfa]

Rape is rape.

[Gay State Conservative]

Can't speak for other guys but I was taught that you didn't do stuff like that to women *long* before I turned 16.

[PAR35]

Just another case of affluenza. Different rules for the rich than for the middle class. And different again for the poor. Justice and injustice can be bought in America.

[PistolPaknMama]

I didn’t read the article since it’s paid access, but where were the parents who owned the home where these kids were getting drunk out of their minds?

[ameribbean expat]

A party where 30 teenagers hang out in pajamas and get drunk. What could possibly go wrong?

[Yaelle]

Define “good.”

[ConservativeMind]

Cut off his balls and testicles with a rusty knife, then try him as a child.

[DesertRhino]

Just depraved. The whole story. 30 Sixteen year olds in pajamas, getting drunk out of their minds. Where were both of their parents? Who owned the house?

[xrmusn]

After a fashion, and the judge with that ruling, one would or should be worried that since the courts didn’t take care of it, maybe the girl has some family that may care to distribute some ‘renegade justice’ on behalf of her.

You have your ‘friends’(court etal) and she has hers.

Suck it up

[babble-on]

Well, if he’s an Eagle Scout he must be a wonderful guy. No further evidence required, case dismissed.

[JayElBee]

The judiciary is completely out of control. We need a way to hold them accountable for their rulings. Everyone else is responsible for their actions. Why not hold judges to some strict standards. Not only in this case for the partisan activists that infest the federal bench as well.
