My Dad loved me to pieces, but if I committed a terrible crime I’m pretty sure he would have thought I deserved just punishment.

The same father who instilled in his son values and taught him that an unconscious woman is his for the taking? Yeah, I could see that apple falling from that tree.

It’s not actually understandable. If my kid raped someone I would not be on their side. I would be angry and devastated and sure I’d fucked up majorly.

I don't see it as understandable at all. Unless you place no value on women or see them as less than human. In which case, this is probably where the kid gets it from.

My parents love me. They will love me no matter what. They would come visit me in jail. They would not defend me raping somebody.

Yeah. Fuck that guy. Now we know where the kid gets the entitled, irresponsible attitude.

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

Its funny how without direction kids just pick up things. My now 2yo daughter got so cross at my wife when she tried on some new shoes which had super sparkly gold straps. She wanted to wear them so bad she would not let mommy wear them. She now has her own pair. Though she still borrows high heels that are left in…

Including using the correct condiments. Mustard, no ketchup.

What else did they want? He attacked her outside, there were witnesses, he was caught in the act, the evidence was 100% irrefutable. But still, a slap on the wrist, he gets to blame those drunk slutty sluts, and the judge is worried about how tough prison would be for him.

Yep. That quote from the judge -

The thing is, they didn’t even HAVE to listen to women. There were two men that saved her, chased him off, and acted as eyewitnesses to his crime, but his welfare is still prioritized before hers. And arguably, before the welfare of his next potential victim.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

Because you have issues with empathy.

So he had no right to put his trust in his lawyers? His lawyers waived his right to bail hearing without consulting him. The legal process is confusing and screwed up enough. Now navigate it with no money in a language that isn’t your first. His lawyers owed him a duty to represent him to the best of their ability. I…

Because you don’t believe in the U.S. Constitution which guarantees due process and prohibits cruel and unusual punishment?

You don’t have sympathy for a man who was wrongfully imprisoned? That sounds like a you problem.

He should sue as many groups as he can, and each one that was involved in his spending unnecessary months in jail. We all know Legal Aide lawyers are underpaid and understaffed, but that is simply no excuse when the consequences for mistakes like this are so dire. If I make a mistake at my job, a comma is missing or…

When you waive your client’s appearance to a bail hearing then don’t tell him he can get out for a dollar, that does seem like the answer.
