JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS A DISGRACE

Oklahoma's judicial system is a disgrace. What kind of people are in charge 
of our state? A state where it is overlooked if you confess in a court of 
law to raping two innocent children, and in this case, his own. The judge 
in this case apparently had the thought: Well, he was very cooperative, so 
he must be a good guy. How is a man charged, then confesses to rape is 
allowed to not only walk free but does not even have to pay a fine? But if 
you make a mistake and get caught using any type of drug or writing a "hot" 
check, then look out Attica. You are about to do some hard time.

I am not saying it is OK for people to do any type of illegal activity. I 
am simply stating make the punishment equal to the crime.

Who would want to live in a community where the lives of two young children 
are considered less important then properly balancing your checkbook.
