Because Prison Would Adversely Affect His Life…



Judge Jan Jurden was appointed by former Delaware Democratic Governor Ruth Ann Minner. This is liberal justice....The sick bastard rapes his 3 year old daughter and the judge is worried how he would fare in prison. Unreal.

A Superior Court judge who sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation for raping his 3-year-old daughter noted in her order that he “will not fare well” in prison and needed treatment instead of time behind bars, court records show.

Judge Jan Jurden’s sentencing order for Robert H. Richards IV suggested that she considered unique circumstances when deciding his punishment for fourth-degree rape. Her observation that prison life would adversely affect Richards was a rare and puzzling rationale, several criminal justice authorities in Delaware said. Some also said her view that treatment was a better idea than prison is a justification typically used when sentencing drug addicts, not child rapists.

Richards’ 2009 rape case became public this month after attorneys for his ex-wife Tracy filed a lawsuit seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the abuse of his daughter.

The fact that Jurden expressed concern that prison wasn’t right for Richards came as a surprise to defense lawyers and prosecutors who consider her a tough sentencing judge. Several noted that prison officials can put inmates in protective custody if they are worried about their safety, noting that child abusers are sometimes targeted by other inmates.

Makes you wonder if she's bought and paid for.

BTW, prison is supposed to suck. That's the point.

I don't wonder much, I'm outright certain.

Yes, prison is supposed to suck.

Treatment for what? I thought libs believed that being born with a different sense of what they're sexually attracted to was normal.

More proof that you're too ignorant to be here.

So, the DA throws out a last minute plea deal to avoid time.

Why?

He'll probably accuse the child for dressing inappropriately.

So they're standing there in the middle of the night with no car. And then they separate because they're drunk. They separate, which you never do. All right.

Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to college. She was. 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning. She's walking by herself on the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she's out of her mind, drunk.

Fox 'news' is bad. Just say no!

So I guess this means you endorse Billow's comments? Funny, he always points to ratings when he gets called out too.

So you don't thinks that being drunk, alone and scantily clad at 2 A.M. would attract attention? Especially from someone with bad intent? Have you never read the stories about college assaults each and every weekend?

What's your complaint with the above? What's it got to do with some 3 year old? I think you've taken the dive off dummycliff on this one. Wow.

He is a lib. He agrees with the sentence.

Leftist judge

Here's the thing, he was looking at serious time at rape 2, then at the 11th hour the prosecutor offered rape 4, and minimal to no time, and the judge signed off on it.

Sounds if there are several people with some splaining to do.

He didn't get away with it. He died while in prison for murder 3.
