Our courts are being run like a three-ring circus. Proof lies in today’s simultaneous sentencing announcements.
A statue loving man in Detroit has been sentenced to 18-months in prison.
It seems that Ronald Dotson likes the solid, silent type and has broken a few shop windows to steal the objects of his obsession.
As a result of his rather bizarre activity, he has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
A few hours after his story hit the airways; the sentencing of Joseph T. LePore and Sean Ryan was announced in New Jersey. Guess what? They got five years…but will likely get paroled in 16 months.
The crime?
These gems killed 3 students and maimed many more. How? They started a fire in a dormitory at Seton Hall University.
In court, victim’s families read tearful accounts of the torturous pain and disfigurement suffered as a result of the so- called “prank.”
A prank is when you fill your sleeping friend’s hand with shaving cream and tickle his nose with a feather. A prank is short-sheeting a bed. Setting your dorm on fire and killing human beings is not a prank. It is a serious crime that should be severely punished.
These cowards did not even stick around to help their dorm mates out of the building. While their college mates were dying and burning, they ran away.
My husband and I lost friends in the now infamous “Station” Night Club fire. We frequented that club. 100 people died there.
As a result of that fire, I still say out of small clubs and seek at least two exits when entering any building.
The same court bargain juggling took place in that case. One Derderian brother got a suspended sentence and 500 hours of community service. The other was sentenced to 5-years. Yep, same sentence as the dorm-burners.
Kill a human- get 16 months jail time, steal a mannequin- get 18 months. Ah justice!
