I have no idea how these things work, but I heard the fucker is appealing, which is patently ridiculous - he's guilty as fuck and the sentence was a gift...

...but I was thinking it would be awesome if the appellate judge agreed that mistakes were made at the trial and imposed the minimum 12 year sentence.

Never mind questioning how offenses with a 12 year minimum got rape boy 6 months (and he'll be out in 3).

I'll quote one of my favorite podcasters, Keith Malley.

If this '20 minutes' is a mistake, then I've never fucking made a mistake.

Piece of shit.  Blaming everyone and everything except himself.

His dad blamed everyone else too. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

In the bad old days, rape victims used to be publicly identified by the media. Thank goodness those days are (for the most part) gone.

It's not exactly a mystery that publicly shaming the victims leads to under reporting. I doubt that wasn't known in the bad old days.

The way victims tend to be treated in the courtroom - even these days - is bad enough.

He's a rapist.  That should result in him being made ball-less.

It is another case of "affluenza" with a side of white privilege.

Had this been a black, Hispanic or even a poorer white dude he'd be in jail for life probably.

Anyway I hope he at least gets a foot long in jail, really I do.

ETA - Am I the only one that sees soooo much irony here... That this happens at the same time everyone is freaking out over tansgender women raping women in bathrooms?

Wait 'til you read his dad's letter -- "twenty minutes" and all.

The apple didn't fall far from the tree in that family.

Clearly one of us is doing it wrong.

In my late teens I'd party every weekend and don't recall any guys getting drunk and raping anyone.

I won't lie. There were a few times when I got drunk, and after all the shindigs had wound down and it was three in the morning and I was lonely, I raped the refrigerator. Yes, there it is, an ugly truth. I ploughed into that bitch like a field on fire.

Let us not talk about the commode.

He benefitted by having a racist sexist judge.
