9 years for pleading guilty to 9 rapes?

One of prosecutors justifies it by saying something like, "well, he's already served a year, so it's really 10 years".

One rape = one year, one month, and 10 days of lost freedom?

WTF???

Am I the only one who thinks this is obscene?

Assuming he meets the agreement of his plea which I read is testifying against two others. If he doesn't he serves up to 20.

Not sure it is a bad deal if he helps put two others away, gives the victims closure, saves the cost of having all of the trials and impact on the victims if they had to be dragged through the courts and face a defense team.

I agree he should get more. It does mean the women do not have to testify and hopefully he will not be bankrupted by his lawyers so hopefully there will be civil actions where these women get some restitution for the crimes committed against them.

There are not too many humans more detestable than rapists. This guy is a serial rapist and should be punished to the fullest extent possible for those crimes.

I still can't get over the fact that he did all those rapes. I THOUGHT he was a good guy.
Now......if he wasn't a big NFL "star", he'd be in prison for the rest of his life. (Which would be justice).
I wonder who got paid off to give him such a sweet deal?

Of course O.J. Simpson got away with double murder, so a few measly rapes doesn't mean much, I guess.
(In case you don't get it, that's sarcasm)

You can find cases every day of regular every day criminals getting deals just like this.

While you're locked up, you lose your freedom, but you have absolutely no responsibilities as food, housing and even insurance are provided for you at the expense of the tax payer. Some say inmates are better provided for than those in elderly establishments. He's also going to be registered sex offender the rest of his life while also on probation.

Maybe our system should aim at rehabilitating criminals instead of locking them in a cell leaving them to compare notes with other criminals. Then again, can someone who committed such acts numerous times over this length of time have any chance to be rehabilitated? I'm not so confident on that.

Regardless of ten years or twenty or fifty, he should be financially responsible for any bills amassed by those he traumatized while they receive the necessary counseling.

That might be so. I guess I just never hear of them. You only hear of the "stars" getting this treatment.

Zero.....to me, prison should be a place of punishment. If a person wants to rehabilitate, they will. If they are like the majority of criminals, they will just continue on in their life of crime if they get out.
I have seen where guys that have gone to prison getiing special treatment, like a job, when they get out. While law abiding people get turned down for the same jobs.
Makes you wonder if you are better off doing a crime, going in and getting free schooling, free health care, free food and lodging, and special treatment when you get out.

Charles Manson is a perfect example. He didn't care if he winded up back in prison, as he didn't have to worry about any of his basic needs once he went back in.
Some people are just bad people, and can't be rehabilitated.
We need to protect the law abiding people from these types.
