Taxpayers pay to keep these sick, broken fucks in protective custody, and then eventually release these incurable sexual predators after they've 'served their time'. This isn't a normal situation where constitutional rights fully apply, these 'people' who violently sexually abuse children need to be adjucated as a special case somehow, like enemy combatants or war criminals.

Who among us has a problem with locking these child rapists up for life after a fair trial by a jury of their peers? False accusations should be no problem, we can just do DNA tests. It's a great time to be alive, we have a chance to really do right by these victims for once, why are we dropping the ball so often and letting people walk?

The guy in this article will probably be walking the streets someday, maybe even someday soon. And what?

I was once part of a jury pool that was being selected to retain a serial child rapist past his sentence. I was rejected by his lawyer because I thought some people did not have “free will” to reject their pathological desires.

If they don't have the "free will" to reject their pathological desires, then why didn't they volunteer to spend the rest of their lives in a mental hospital and in isolation? Would that be an adequate excuse for someone who supposedly cannot control his overwhelming desire to possess all of the super expensive jewelry in another's retail store despite his unwillingness to earn a living?

The lawyer was trying to select a jury that thought a person through his free will could overcome his desires. He was wanting this guy to go free. He said “ I’m sure you all believe in free will”. I raised my hand and said “I don’t think so”. Anyway I wasn’t picked and I hope I ruined his defense strategy. I looked in the papers and I’m not sure of the outcome. This was before the internet.
