A guy that I used to work with, someone that I had to rely on and supervise, recently plead guilty to two counts of child rape. He admitted that he had been abusing his 10 year old daughter for about 5 years and had been abusing his 5 year old daughter for a year. He is now serving a 16.5 year sentence in a state prison. I have no problem with the length of his sentence.
A month (or so) later, a woman killed her step-daughter. The kid was a product of her husband's infidelity. Along with some broken bones and skull fractures, the child's kidney was separated from the ureter. I can't imagine the amount of violence that it took to cause the damage. The recommended sentence for her is 8.5 years. This seems like a slap on the wrist to me. It seems that raping kids is worse than killing them in the eyes of the justice system. |

It's hard to comment on stuff like this without knowing all of the circumstances. On it's face, of course it looks like you're right. But I'd guess there's more to the story relevant to the sentence given in the murder.

Both deserve no less than life in prison, at least in my eyes.... I have a feeling the child rapist will end up having his sentence be life in prison......

I don't think that the difference is between rape and murder. The difference is that one offender was a man and the other was a woman.

I hear you, ending a childs life over childish jealousy seems worse to me, but both are pretty [censored] up, and deserve the worst they can get, shame women will never get equality from the justice system, yuck.

any amount of time in prison for someone who committed sexual crimes against a child is a life sentence. there is a very logical reason for this.
as for the murder, I'd be willing to wager there were massive extenuating circumstances and/or a mitigating mental state for the mother. those in law enforcement aren't the types to pull punches without good reason in such cases. fim |
