Quote:A multimillionaire who pleaded guity to raping his three-year-old daughter has been spared jail after a judge in Delaware ruled he would "not fare well" in prison.
Robert H Richards IV, heir to the du Pont chemical business, was given eight years' probation and ordered to seek treatment after he admitted to raping his three-year-old daughter in 2009.
Judge Jan Jurden ruled that Richards, 46, should not be handed a custodial sentence as he would "not fare well in Level 5 [prison] setting".
One wonders how low-level drug users "fare" in prison? I suppose if you are not a multimillonaire no one gives a shit. I applaud this judge for openly being such a fucking idiot. This kind of stupidity takes real courage.
I read this earlier today.

Time to look into the Judge's campaign contributors...

He's a Dupont in Delaware.

It's a toss-up, S-C.
But it does indicate that prisoners should be rioting in jails everywhere.

The excuse isn't even that well thought out: one would think that not faring well in prison is kind of the point. I mean, it is a punishment, and a deterrent for future crimes. You don't want it to be a cakewalk.

People, this is American justice we're talking about, where crimes committed by the powerful regularly go unpunished because it's better "to look forward then to look backward." Can anyone really claim to be shocked?
