IS THIS JUSTICE? [View All]

I live in a very much fundie state, Texas. There is not much that goes on here, politically, or judically that I agree with. Anyone getting convicted of a sex crime against a child has been given very long sentences the past couple of years. I have no problem with that, in fact, I agree with it. However, in today's paper, it tell about a man who at the age of 24 was given 10 yr. probated sentence for sexual relations with a 16 year old girl. The sex was conseual but she was underage by over almost two years. He has been a model probationer, attended all counseling sessions, and never broke any rules of his probation until his wife had a baby boy. The crime happened when he was 24, and now is 31. He got married several years after his "crime." He was given the choice of going to jail or moving out and never seeing his child until his probation is over. He is now trying to get supervised visitation rights and plans to live away from his wife. I just sighed and realized that that is what you get when you live in Texas.
Everything is seen as black or white, there are no gray areas.
