Another son of Democratic Party politicians

[Perd Hapley]

This sweet schoolboy makes a scene in the court room, begging not be jailed for having sodomized another student with rebar.

And by "son of Democratic Party politicians," I mean that they have fostered a culture of poverty, degradation, crime, victim-hood, and entitlement.

Here's another approach.

Wow, even a teacher was involved?
If my kid were attacked like that, that teacher would be a lot safer in jail. Just saying.

That's racist.

And my, what a stellar endorsement for public schools. I guess he was that one teacher that really made a difference in that kid's life.

What he is acused of is henious and dispicable.  But he has not been convicted of being henious and dispicable.  Bail used to be used to help guarantee the accused would return to court at the appointed time(s) and/or comply with pre-trialconditions of release.  Nowadays it seems bail is used as a form of pre-conviction punishment.

Is the kid a flight risk?  As in, how close is he to the border and how likely is it that he would be heading there?  The teacher who is accused of "encouraging" the act was let out on $100,000 bail; no info on the two other kids accused of participating.  Why is 'Nando's bail 3x the teacher's?

The kid took a plea agreement http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/fernando-salgado-reaches-deal-california-classroom-hazing_n_1680305.html "Superior Court Judge Douglas A. Fettel stayed Salgado's sentence of three years of felony probation and 180 days in county jail in exchange for his testimony. The teen could have faced four years in prison if convicted of both charges, Lee said."

Seems the judge did not have much problem letting the kid back out into the community after all the dust settled.  No need to be a hard case a month ans a half later.

stay safe.

He raped a kid with an object and got a stayed sentence of probation? I hate our courts so much.

Pretty much this.

No.  He snitched on the rest of the group that was with him in the deed.  Let's keep in mind that the system bought his "cooperation", as opposed to doing the work to get convictions without his "help".

Now go hate the courts and the prosecutors and the interpretation of the Canon of Ethics that says a lawyer should try to defend their client from a guilty verdict even when they know their client is guilty.

stay safe.
