In this case, I... I don't think so.<br /><br />The kid came forward, on his own, to report what he did, knowing that it was wrong, and knowing that it would get him in the worst kind of trouble. <br /><br />If he'd raped the girl, or had hidden his crime, maybe I'd feel more strongly that this is a cut and dried issue. <br /><br />But with the autopsy reports saying that the girl showed no signs of sexual abuse, it seems like maybe the boy did some seriously bad touching, then came forward and admitted his crime. <br /><br />If he felt guilty enough to come forward on his own, rather than pretending it never happened, maybe there was hope for him.<br /><br />I think evil people, or sick little turds, are the ones who DON'T feel guilt, don't come forward, don't admit what they've done, or won't admit that it's wrong.<br /><br />For me, this is shades of grey.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685326073312725589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-20429335020387809702009-11-21T15:03:13.974-06:002009-11-21T15:03:13.974-06:00Here we see the difference between law and justice...Here we see the difference between law and justice.<br /><br />The son put the father in an awful position, and I think the son got what he deserved.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-11364162669992486012009-11-21T14:16:07.580-06:002009-11-21T14:16:07.580-06:00What would I have done?

An evil person is dead. And evil is the only way to describe a person who has molested a child. Yes, it was the man's own son, but people have to take responsibility for their minor children, and this man's son was evil. Yes, he reacted with rage, but frankly the fact that all such crimes aren't reacted against with rage is why we have repeat offenders who go on molest and commit other sex crimes again and again. <br /><br />Jury nullification in the father's trial is the only way the legal system can correctly function at this point.Robert McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849168773343652368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46386378781431653772009-11-21T04:48:45.022-06:002009-11-21T04:48:45.022-06:00Dads gotta pay the price under the law for what he...Dads gotta pay the price under the law for what he did but I'm not going to condemn the man for what he did.
