I have a question I would like someone to answer:
Why wasn’t James Fairbanks also charged with criminal misuse of the registry? Every registry has this little (and apparently toothless) disclaimer that says “This registry is not to be used to inflict additional punishment upon any offender listed herein.”
Does anyone think this provision is nothing more than window dressing to keep the human rights watch dogs at bay and to give the law an air of legitimacy?
Could it be charging and convicting people like Fairbanks of criminal misuse of the registry would be too much of a mea culpa that would make legal challenges to the registry on 8th Amendment grounds much more successful?
I asked my lawyer in Nebraska that question. He said Don Klein, the DA of Douglas County, is a coward and voters would oust him. Don Klein has been in his position for to long and should retire. I told my lawyer he should run for DA.

That is there (In my opinion) So they can justify the registry NOT being punishment. End of story.
I can throw some 20 dollar bills in my front yard and put up a sign that says “Do not take the 20’s” but do you think that will stop some people?
In the End there are no winners to this story.
Only the ones that choose to learn and be better

His popular support, which emerged when he was first in the news, has not re-appeared at all, judging from Twitter.
James Fairbanks will soon be a forgotten man.
I believe he’ll be sent to Tecumseh due to his long prison term which is “rough” in the Nebraska prison system. Just hope that the future parole board remember the mistake of releasing Nikko Jenkins back into the community.
