Really? 10 years for this?

I'd happily donate a gazillion books and DVDs to the Denver Public Library system if it meant rapists got stiffer sentences than this guy.

liz,

so let me get this straight: this dude gets *ten years* for a *non*-violent crime, but beebe, who brutally *raped* you, got just *thirteen months* (or whatever ridiculously light sentence it was)?

how do you spell "injustice"?

I don't know - this guy probably took out the dictionary and failed to return it.

He got 5 months and change. Those library books were violated! Oy.

Wow....

10 years for stealing library books.


and your rapist got 5 months?

How did he manage that? There must have been some sort of excuse for the ridiculously light sentencing.

Also, isn't there some kind of maximum sentence for petty theft? i didn't think they could sentence someone to 10 years for that.
