![]() That piece of vermin got off much too easily. The "punishment" he received does NOT fit the seriousness of the crime. It doesn't matter if the rape occurred behind a dumpster or not; the fact that it happened is what matters. The claim that the trial was unfair because "witnesses who would testify to his good character were excluded by the court" is ridiculous in the face of this terrible assault against the girl. Males of good character don't have sex with unconscious females, period.
