Yesterday I saw on the news that Michael Devlin has been charged with over 70 accounts of sexual assault. This is amazing to me. How can someone like this be allowed to even have a trial. I mean I know the judicial system has to give him a "fair and reasonable" trial. But can he even get a trial that is fair and reasonable. The man is a freak. He kept one boy for 4 years and then kidnapped another one. It has been all over national news. No matter where they try to move the jury too he's not going to get what his lawyers want. And should he? The evidence is stacked so heavily against him I can't imagine that he is going to get anything less than life in prison. And even at that he won't last very long in prison.
My roommate's dad is a prosecuting attorney for Saint Louis County. He worked on the Devlin case and says there were things that the boys told them that were unbelievable. I really hope that our judicial system, that has sometimes not been just in my feeling, will be just in this matter and at the very least sentence this slime ball to life in prison. It just sickens me that someone would do something like this to little children. How can they get away with it. I just don't know how their conscious allows it.
Some people just really make me sick. I thank God that these boys got away and didn't get "seriously" hurt. I hope that this brings light on how we need to watch out for our children so that this kind of things don't continue to happen.
