Poaching from Marnie - the Zerola case

I want you all to read this posting from Marnie's blog about a favorite guy of ours..

We blogged about this guy a while back and his ridiculous defense attorney. One thing I must strongly agree with - well, all of it - is how when, for example, a certain rapist we know was sentenced, his parade of character witnesses was just neverending. They gave him credit for oh, among other things, saving lives, solving a case of embezzlement, getting someone to wash their hair, giving great massages, loving homeless kittens, being the bestest guy in the world, parting the Red Sea, etc - okay, those last two were hyperbole and not stated in Court. And they all invoked the word "Jesus" while doing so. That pisses me off. My Jesus doesn't approve of rape, thank you. Stop hiding behind religion. You all find it when you're going to the pokey. Don't you think juries are wise to this?

However, it came my turn to speak about how "Mr. Holy Land" affected our family and the Judge wouldn't allow it. Why can't victims say their piece? Our friend was also allowed to allocute and he never once apologized for what he did to me. He "took responsbility by pleading guilty to a lesser charge" and then promptly misprounced my name. I am not by nature a huge filthmouth, but he's such a little shit. Just like Zerola.

Like putting lipstick on a pig, I say. Sorry I'm a tad ticked today - it's a process and we had a bit of a setback this morning. And I shouldn't apologize for feeling this way.
