Steve2, I can't figure out if you're really as stupid as you sound here or you're just blinded by hatred.
I actually just happened to come across a comic which describes your posts here perfectly:
Anywho, on to the issue at hand:
1- yes justice was served if thats what a Jury or Judge finds
Wow, you really think the US justice system is completely infallible? Just because he was found guilty that means justice was served? (let me guess, you also think justice was served when Yankel Rosenbaum HY"D's murderer was found not guilty?)
You obviously can't believe that because you yourself wrote in the same post:
...a Paris Hilton is caught with coke and gets off and yet if it was me or you wed be locked away in the slammer...
...( I know people have been put to death and only yrs later it turns out that person was innocent, its not a perfect system) as well as guilty people being found innocent for crimes they did in fact committ.
So you're saying that if he was found guilty justice was served, yet in the same breath you say the system is unfair and doesn't always work?!
now go get some Evidence that it was rigged and not simply flinging thngs like hail marys hoping something will stick
I can't give you evidence that it was "rigged" but it is clear that something is very wrong here. you can read
MA Congressman Bill Delahunt's letter to AG Eric Holder for some of the key points.
A few select quotes: "This case illustrates that injustice can happen and that grossly disparate sentences may be imposed..."
"This case raises very serious issues of judicial and prosecutorial misconduct"
"the sentence has been criticized by many lawyers and legal scholars, including six former U.S. attorney generals..."
SR was offered 15 yrs and turned it down, righlty or wrongly so but turn it down he did , thusly a person ha sto know if you are found guilty the sentence will be longer then what the offer was
ok, so we can't compare him to other similar cases where the offender only got a slap on the wrist because they pleaded guilty there, but you have no problem that he was offered 15 years instead of the same slap on the wrist?
2- I have no idea what length a proper sentence would be...
Now I have no idea what a reasonable sentence should be for the crimes committed and found Guilty of
So you have no idea what would be considered a reasonable sentence yet you have no problem coming here and saying he deserves to sit for a long time?! How can you possibly say that he deserves what he got and he was treated fairly if you have no idea what he should actually get?!
I'm sure hatred has nothing to do with it...
(and while we're (kinda) on the subject, why don't you tell us why he deserves to sit for "a long time"? do you still stand by what you said that it's because he hired minors and illegals?)
I don't see how bringing in other cases where other frum yidden are sitting - and rightfully so (at least according to US law)- helps your point...
