Just wishing every RSO and their families could be there for every hearing involving his case. As a side note, I found it extremely disturbing to see this guy lobbying on behalf of The Geo Group at a hearing a little while back. The guy was giving The Geo Group’s nod of approval to reduce the gain time from 80% to 60%. A bill that seemed to try to lessen time served EXCEPT for those considered sexual offenses. Reading the bill scared me for the simple fact that the wording seemed to make sexual based offenses higher degree felonies. Seeing him in favor of the bill on behalf of a private prison corporation turned my stomach.
Does FAC have any friends in news media? It would be wonderful if a reporter and camera ended up in the courtroom and did a small story on it. Maybe even a few reporters from papers with large circulations to do the same.
We often think of our Media Committee’s job as responding to news reports with criticism, but it’s beyond that. Where possible, I think they try to build relationships with reporters and become a reliable source for them. Or they should try to do so if I’m wrong about this. Occasionally FAC has been able to get Gail quoted in local and statewide news, and that’s been great.
Jacob, the Media Committee is currently working on a statewide project to educate media personnel and selected lawmakers. Our effort is not to condemn but to expose these folks to the truth about the ‘myths’ they have clung to for years and reported as facts. When this project is completed they can no longer claim ignorance of the subject. Any reporting or voting on false information will be purely intentional. Whether this project will produce the ‘fruit of the truth’ is yet to be known.
While I don’t know about this Book character but I have had my DUI’s in the past. Funny thing is who is endangering who or who’s paying justice to defer issues. A grandmother in TN was an habitual herself, and believe it or not she had her grandchild in the car. Talk about abuse of a child. So how does one abuse a child when their was no child involved.
A DUI is endangering others and putting oneself in danger also as compared to these Sex registry schemes. Is their any true Justice in America today or who gets burned setting off fire-crackers during the 4th. Talk about a cherry bomb scheme! Remember one has the lite the fuse.
