I find it ever fascinating, how individuals are charged upon admitting guilt to a certain criminal act. Why is it that someone can commit such crimes against someone else, especially a minor, a child and be put on probation? Is 20 years of “intensive supervised probation” the proper consequence for such crimes as these individuals committed? And why does one of these individuals find going to trial a reasonable approach with the evidence there seems to be against him and with the approach his co-defendants took?

Some things I will never understand and I guess some of the legal system is one of them!
