And the punishment never stops. Placed on a registry, no place to live, presumed guilty of any crime that takes place, little hope that life will ever return to normal. What has and is our system of "justice" coming to? Or where is it already? I am outraged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-11798925605276305272007-04-20T05:36:00.000-05:002007-04-20T05:36:00.000-05:00One only need look at the number of so-called conv...One only need look at the number of so-called convicted sex offenders locked in the prisons of Texas to realize something is terribly flawed with the entire system. The "witch-hunt" type mentality that is infecting this state, over zealous D.A.'s up for election, court appointed attorneys with limited resources (if any),and no desire to be the attorney that got a crazed sex offender off, judges who allow their courtroom to be manipulated by unskilled expert testimony, and a jury held captive by allegations and show-boating, are all recipes for the conviction of an innocent person. A jilted girlfriend, an angry wife, and the ability to convict WITHOUT evidence (except she said~he said) are filling our prisons with men whose lives are forever destroyed.<BR/>Now we see proposed bills that want to make it even easier to get a false conviction by assuming every little girl or boy who takes the stand is telling the truth. Will the insanity never cease? <BR/>Trust me when I tell you that a man can be convicted in this state with no DNA, with no witness to the so-called crime, and with no recourse against the allegation. Men in this state need to be afraid...very afraid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
