Subject: RE: BS: Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho)- lewd conduct
If he sociliated sex or tried to & pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, that's just a crying shame. He got the same treatment that's offered anyone on the street that gets caught up in this justice system that benifits those that can afford to pay there way past it. He got caugt in it because he wanted it all to just go away. That's the way it works. A threat of a heavier sentence or penalty, a long drawn out court battle, the mounting costs & publicity, knowning a public defender will sell the defendant short, or advise a guily plea to lighten the punishment, which he did anyway. All these are what a wealthy defendant can afford to disreguard in there effort to go for broke but not the poor bloke who's weighting his future. He got treated like a poor common criminal, cry foul, see who gives a shit. He shouldn't have opened himself up to all this in the 1st place, the stupid bastard, he could've afforded to by past what the commoner can't afford. Fry 'em. It's a rotten system but it feels more like justice when one of the upper crust gets caught up in it's web. Besides, it's not like he wasout at a pick up joint, you sociliate sex, it's usually for money & the hookers call them "johns" & it's a crime. Had he tried to make a 'legit' pass at someone he might've gotten lucky, seems as if he was lucky long enough & it finally ran out. sniff!
