Today, I am writing in regard to Shawnee County (KS) District Judge Matthew Dowd's decision to grant probation to a man convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. What was this judge thinking?
Apparently, he cares more for the sick criminal than the victim in this case.
His decision has dredged up memories from my childhood that I had long ago buried. Memories of when I was molested somewhere around the tender age of 11 or 12. Back then, no one listened to me, not even my parents, so I buried the memories.
What Dowd did was refuse to listen to this little girl, the same as those around me as a kid did, when I was hurt.
Kansas sentencing guidelines say that this molester could have been sentenced to almost 13 years in jail, but Dowd chose to ignore that and gave him probation. With judges like this, it is no wonder so many people consider taking the law into their own hands.
Discussing faith, business, personal finance, news (business and financial related), politics, and pretty much everything else.
Yeah...O.K. Kevin. I suppose I agree with you, somewhat. However, let's look at this from a different perspective. Without this action, we possibly would have never known about this option, and Hon. Dowd may be trying to bring this to our concience. Now, how about those "Prairie Winders"? Phil Cosby and a religious group from K.C. have inundated this city with Pimps, Whores, Drug dealers, and other criminals to try to rid our community of "porn". WTF? People have died in wars to protect our right to choice. We are becoming a nation of "Theologists"?
