I repeat – DAs (and most judges, unfortunately) only care about their precious 100% conviction rates and securing as many felony convictions with the longest sentences possible. Truth, victims, fairness, and justice be damned. They want their resumes to read along the lines of “Earned 10,000 felony convictions, sentenced to 1 million years imprisonment” despite only being 50 actual crimes and 995,000 of those years are concurrent with the rest.

When victims say “He ruined my life. I want him hung in front of a firing squad and set on fire”, they’re not pursuing “justice” for that victim. They’re just using that victim as a prop to support the sentence they want anyway for resume enhancement. As shown in this case, a victim that says “Leave him alone” is thought too stupid to think for themselves and have no clue what their best interests are (which, for some reason I can’t figure out, appear to be fluffing a DA’s resume).

That goes for the adults too. My prosecutor basically said my ex was out of touch with reality when she asked the court not to send me to prison so I could continue to support them, saying she didn’t think I would ever offend again. (20 years later offense free, guess who was right?)

Well, I was remanded to prison and the registry anyway, and my loved ones became destitute as a result, almost becoming homeless as a result of my imprisonment. The government could care less. They don’t think about their actions enough to care if, in helping the victim get ‘justice’ they also severely negatively affect them, their daily life, and future prospects.

>I know this sounds unbelievable. But I’m married to a judge here

Which country?

Again, please stop using AI to write comments. People want to hear real thoughts here, not what ChatGPT thinks.

Can you please write your own comments instead of letting AI do the thinking for you? Thanks.

Second, I have a very hard time believing the judge was “moved by the defendant’s youth” and opinions of the victim.

Third and most significant, the simple fact is that prosecutors and courts couldn’t care less about victims if they tried. DAs always want maximum sentences, and I’ve heard way too many judges proudly proclaiming to sentence another million years before they retire.

They don’t mind propping up victims that call for the defendant’s head in the least. Then, what they want is all that matters. But in cases like this, where the purported victim doesn’t want any action at all, they revert to the statutory age of “too stupid to think for themselves” and want the maximum anyway.

And it bears repeating that DAs absolutely adore sex crimes. Burden of proof eliminated in practice if not law, decades-long sentences, pure fluff for their resumes. I’m not certain if judges are the same way, considering 99% of the administration that bears a judge’s signature in the criminal court system was written by the prosecutors of those cases and most judges don’t read anything beyond their signature block.

And I would imagine the DA in this case is being ridiculed by her peers for only getting 2 years on a authority figure/minor sex charge. And her boss is likely re-evaluating her position.

Over the years, I’ve seen very similar and sometimes same sentiments appearing on the message boards.

I’ll have to check to see if the most recent censored comments contained any language like that. I keep them in Notes. I don’t think the comment I posted this morning contained any of that.

The machine has destroyed all my filters. It’s still MY opinion that’s being silenced.
