Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=zk]This is more like it.
This woman did basically the same thing as Kathy Rowe, and was sentenced to six years in prison.
From the article: “The judge said [the defendant] was in denial throughout proceedings, and that it was only by chance that the victim had not actually been raped.”
Sounds familiar.[/quote]
From the limited info I got, both of these women seemed to be “decent” women without any major prior arrests or convictions. They are both equally guilty.
yes, but who said that the same crime merits the same punishment anywhere in the world.
If it were so, a public servant who dedicated his whole life to service but got caught with illegal drugs would get the same punishment as the “loser” who committed the same crime.

You’re not making sense, Brian. You imply that someone (incorrectly, in you opinion) said or implied that the same crime merits the same punishment anywhere in the world. You appear to attempt to counter that with your statement that justice isn’t blind. Of course justice isn’t blind. Unfortunately it never has been, and most likely never will be. What does that have to do with what a crime “merits”?
Perhaps you didn’t mean “merits”? Perhaps you meant “will be punished with.” And nobody said or implied that K Rowe will be punished with what her crime merits.
Your arguments are generally very flaky, poorly stated and irrational, which makes them really slippery. I’m curious whether you do that on purpose, or that’s really how you think.

Just because a person has no major prior convictions doesn’t mean they’re decent. I’d say both these women are abominable.

Agreed. That’s why I used the quotation marks. I was responding to Brian’s example of one person having a history of violent crimes vs. another who doesn’t.

Guestby “merit” I meant “deserve”.
I don’t think a comparison to a case in England makes sense for us in USA.
You seem to imply that Ms. Rowe deserves 6 years in prison because that was the English woman’s punishment.
All I’m saying that is that you can’t just compare similar crimes and punishments. The life, identity, resources of the perpetrator make a huge difference in the punishment, or outcome of justice.

I didn’t imply that Rowe deserves 6 years because that’s what the English woman got. Rowe deserves 6 years and more because she committed a crime that deserves a 6-year term and more. As does the English woman.
Are you saying that the perpetrator’s resources etc. should result in a different punishment or that they generally do result in a different punishment?

Not nearly long enough.
August 17, 2014 at 11:43 AM #777387GuestMost of the time the perpetrators’ circumstances do affect the outcome. The perpetrators circumstances also sway prosecutorial discretion. Should it be so? I’m a little ambivalent but I think so.
In this case, in trying to predict, I doubt Ms. Rowe will serve 36 months. We will see.

I still can’t believe that they are trying to claim that she didn’t intend to harm the victim via her “forcible sex” ads. She is a filthy parasite. Best to get her off the streets. She is no less harmful than any other rapist.

If she went to that extreme on not buying a house, what did she do on every little slight she received in the office or the neighbors over the last 20 years?
