Until they get thrown back into the corner by the Revolution.

Blows my mind people are still complaining about women in this thread

[ES_Curse]

Why are people not rioting in the streets? This is such a blatant perversion of the legal system that I would expect an angry mob or something. Even fucking India can get their shit together for gross injustices like this.

I don’t know dude. At one time I would be outraged, but now that I’ve seen what an abuse allegation can potentially do to an innocent man, I’m skeptical to throw serious punishment at anyone based on the allegations of a woman alone.

That said, I also do not trust the creepyness of old rich white men, so I’m torn. :

Richards pleaded guilty in June 2008 to one count of fourth-degree rape to avoid jail time

…That was an option?!

Yeah, the plea bargain. It’s basically assured get-fucked. Court system says “look, you’re gonna get fucked because we don’t need an real evidence to convict you. Soo… if you just give up right now and save the court a bunch of money and time and make the prosecutor’s win record look better, we can get you probation, even though your life as you know it will be pretty much over.”

Your lawyer will likely press you to take the deal.

:tdown:

False rape/sexual assault claims are incredibly rare.

This is a horrible situation. Why do we have “degrees of rape”?

Why do we have “degrees of rape”?

Because there are different degrees of rape.

I don’t think this story was that big. I only found out about it because a friend on another forum posted it,

That said, I’m not sure what anyone could do outside of roughing u[ the judge.

Never hear about women receiving treatment when they commit 4th degree rape. So much for double standards…

[Smashbro29]

This is bullshit of the highest caliber.

Well, for one, it’s rare when women commit any kind of rape, but this guy raped a goddamn 3 year old. I mean, I get what you’re saying, but this is really not the place for those kinds of comparisons. >_<

even fucking india?
go sodomize yourself with a retractable baton.

I would like to ask the so-called judge “what prisoners do fare well in jail?”

My guess is if you’re poor, a person of color, don’t have money to pay for expensive lawyers, you “do fare well in jail - or more likely, it just doesn’t matter”.

Everyday people in prison are in a dangerous environment because “of the actions they took” that put them there. However, if you are rich, you are “excused”. Something is wrong with this picture. Big time.

Pretty much
