If you're still wondering whether the US is dystopian police state, this ought to make it clear. From the Miami Herald: A jury Monday found a couple guilty of having sex on Bradenton Beach after only 15 minutes of deliberation.Read the full story at the Miami Herald. Here's a video report from local news affiliate WFLA: Call me crazy, but I think a stern reprimanding would have sufficed. If that is too lenient, perhaps a $200 fine? Fifteen years is a virtual death sentence, bodybuilders like this man can have heart problems, for all we know he could die before he even turns fifty-five. Meanwhile, was the three year old who allegedly witnessed their gyrations -- the real 'victim' in this case, as we are told -- permanently scarred for life? I can't imagine a three year old even knowing, nor understanding what they just witnessed. While their actions were tasteless, fifteen years in prison and forced registration as a sex offender is extreme overkill. It appears the prosecutors are punishing them simply for having the audacity to refuse their plea deal. |
