Letter: Sex offender plea bargain decried as abuse of justice
Tuesday, 05 December 2006 17:23
 EDITORëS NOTE: The following letter was sent to the Daily Planet, accompanying a story that can be read at www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53070.

To Asheville City Council, Buncombe Commissioners, and local media who just might be concerned (I am not submitting an article here of my own):

The article below is obviously slanted against Democrats, but thatës not the important issue here. If the sick-o was a Republican, Libertarian or Green, Iëm sure a writer would make some kind of slant to suit their own political agenda as well.
 

What IS the important issue is that a child porno producer is given an entirely unjust plea bargain from our local, and apparently very corrupt, district attorney.

The very concept of plea bargaining is evil to me from the get go. But plea bargaining from an 81-year sentence down to less than ONE YEAR exemplifies the current lack of JUSTICE in our American "justice" system.


IS THIS TRUE? Can it be that corruption is so entrenched in our American government that now kiddie porn producers are given special favors, perhaps because of their community involvement history?

"Oh well, heës been such a great member of our community that we can overlook his sexual abuse of children!"

I have to wonder how all this sits with the parents of those children who were sexually abused and perhaps scarred for life?


One thing is for sure: if the trend of this growing lack of justice in the American courts continues in our country, people will be more prone to take the law into their own hands in seeking real justice for such heinous crimes ÇƒÓ and who will really be able to justifiably blame them for doing so?


In my humble opinion, if there was ever a justifiable rationale for the death penalty, child molestation is it. Yet, we will have another convicted child molester walking free in about a year... oh but yes, i know ÇƒÓ ÇƒÚheëll be curedë. (YEAH, RIGHT!)


I am so saddened by this report that I pray is is an entire lie... but I fear it isnët. How long will Americans continue to allow the corruption to continue?


So Asheville councilmen and Buncombe County commissioners: do we ignore such matters and hope it all goes away? YOU are the elected leaders of our community... SO LEAD!


And local media: do we let the good citizens of the Asheville area know how our local D.A. handles child pornographer producers? It is YOUR responsibility to report the news in an unbiased fashion, so I hope and pray you do so.


Regardless, Lord help us, for it seems inevitable to me that we are surely doomed.
