Just short of his 18th birthday. Raped a 10 year-old.
Whaddya think? Restorative justice circle in this case?

The investigation laid dormant for several years.
Notwithstanding the DNA hit, who knows what evidentiary or legal obstacles were in play?
Bottom line is that offender (now age 26) was a minor when the offense was perpetrated. Sounds like there was a plea agreement, often driven by leverage applied by both sides.
Often, the facts and circumstances driving the plea negotiations is much more complex than what a newspaper article reflects.
BTW, we all comment on bills before Congress here that none of us have read. How selective are you with this standard?

Also, why do you think the government should be able to kill people outisde of prison, but not inside of prison?
Do you think Obama and McCain were incorrect in 2008 when both called for the death penalty for a child rapist whose crime was so brutal that the under 10-year old had to have reconstructive surgery? You clearly believe that the government is morally justified in sanctioning or perpetrating the killing of human beings outside of prison. Why does your moral standard shift when a child killer or child rapist faced execution? Really weird. I totally get the pacifists who oppose all killing, but you're far from a pacifist, not only defending the right of the state to kill human beings in the context of war, but this board's biggest abortion cheerleader. All that, but executing child killers just goes too far? Really?

You clearly don't defend the, "Because that's what the statutes or judge say" principle when it comes to statutues or court decisions that you don't like. In fact, you object in the strongest moral terms and in the most maudlin manner. You've never objected to a decision to charge a juvenile as an adult, even when it full under state statutes? Really?

The "insurrectionists," I mean. Are they all insurrectionists? Most? Few? A handful? How do you know? Have you read the files?
