tygerlili: young girls and rape

I was sixteen when my first sexual experience occurred. It was rape, i would realize as an adult, but as a sixteen year old girl, i could not say that. I had gone off with my cousin and my brother. My cousin was older, and we looked up to her, as teens usually do when someone is older but still a teen. She had bought some alcohol and we all drank it. The thing grownups forget about being a teen is that teens want to fit in, be cool, and they will follow others to do so.

Maybe my knowledge of the law is a bit dated, but is it still true that the decision to sentence someone after a conviction to concurrent or consecutive sentence up to the judge? Or has that decision been removed from the judiciary by the legislature? I'm looking for an authorative answer here, not Limbaughesque "way things ought to be" screeds.

bamagrl: free speech

Perhaps it is you that should revisit a government class. The very right that allows "LetMeEducateYou" and others to spout off their mouth/pen/keyboard and grace us with their opinions, allows me to tell them to keep it shut if I want. Free speech is not free, one must also be willing to accept the consequences of that speech. We are not Zach's "homies" and we are not ignorant of the facts of this case. Let me ask you this: if she is so innocent, where are her supporters? Many people have spent time in prison for crimes they did not commit. A jury is made up of everday people, most of whom do not have law degrees. It is within reason to think that they made a mistake.
