Too Short??

First of all, let me say that I am a very short lady, a bit over 5 feet. I have never committed a deadly crime (though I have been and am a sinner just like everyone else); never raped; never killed; never even pulled a gun on anyone (other than when Frannie and I played Cowboys and Indians). But now I'm curious: what if I did decide to commit one of these horrific crimes. In the past, I would just know that I would end up in jail for life or some other fate. After yesterday, I have learned that I would perhaps be pardoned and allowed to stay home and do more dasdardly deeds. Is that something I was thrilled to learn? Absolutely not! I would expect to serve my time in an unpleasant environment as a result of my unlawful behavior. If my luck prevailed, as the guy's in Nebraska, I would be free to sit here and blog, watch my favorite TV shows in my very own favorite recliner, snack to my tummy's content, talk on the phone when and as much as I wished, and just enjoy myself without restraints. I cannot believe the verdict that was passed on this short, 5', 1" man! He was not sentenced to life, not given a death sentence, not even give a year in the pen for raping a little child. Why did he go free? Because he is short!! Short! He may get bullied (like he didn't bully this child); he may be picked on (like he didn't pick on this child); or he may get hurt (like this little child)! I am outraged, absolutely infuriated!! What has our country come to, at least our judicial system? What if this were your child? Or, what if this were the judge's child? Would she have made the same decision-no jail, probation only? I heard that the guy was sitting in his home there in Nebraska. Remind me not to go through that state with my grandchildren until the judicial system is corrected! I cannot believe this!!
