The secret's being kept in my home town
Well News Media really failed it's very own community this year where I'm from. And that is putting thing's very lightly. In reporting the news they should have reported on cases like Mr. Deboard. He was scheduled for trial this year on alot of sexual activity with a child or with another's child. Yet nothing was done as a follow up story. As a matter of fact the Common Pleas Courts in its self has failed us here in our home town. They only hear a small fractions of cases in the court room. It is a fact and complained about by alot of residents here. Our Judge Evans would rather plea bargain a sexual case down to almost as though the offender did nothing wrong. And well he has proven he is partial to the sentenceing of a Rapist, by saying the law is to vague when the word mandatory is mentioned in court ruling's. And let's not forget this Judge well he released the sexual offender who had at best an original 8 counts of rape against him, after only sentencing him on four counts of rape, and the offender only serving nine months on the mandatory law was released from our prison system. But hey even the prosecutor had to agree that choice was wrong and needed spoken against. Mr. Cunningham is now in our prison system after almost being free a year. We protested that Judge, but he's still like Judge Connors sitting on the bench, still making wrong choices. Here's another instance for you about our court. Robert Wolfe this time last year was while in his prison cell charged or indicted for rape of the same child he had been convicted of not once but twice in one year. When Mr. Wolfe was scheduled for release this fall, he was served upon entering Coshocton Justice Center with that indictment. One thing I'll say sweeping injustice under the rug is what is done best around here. And I don't say it none to lightly. See I know Robert all to well, and I also know while pre-sentence investigation was happening; the one's who claimed to be investigating the case did nothing while he paraded the victim through public at the fair grounds his first charge. Yep you read it right. Mr. Wolfe walked right out in public with his child victim, and grand-children. And Officials were present during his parade of look at me I'm not stopping. And why should he, not one officer placed him under arrest for his violating the Judge's order to stay away from the victim. That first case was brought to light, not because the officials knew, but due to his ex-wife and myself his cousin, it was reported. Now he only got jail time the first round, oh and let's not forget about that pre-sentence investigation, it forgot to even mention Mr. Wolfe had violated after being released on bail. His second offense was because once again Mr. Wolfe and the victim were caught together. This round he waited for trial, but while waiting he again violated with yep you guessed it the same victim. Which got him one year in our prison system. And now to that rape charge that got swept under the rug. Mr. Wolfe was served the day he was supposed to be out of prison. He appeared in court the following Tuesday only the charge he was indicted on, well it slipped all the way down to a charge that was not rape but lesser. Leaving Mr. Wolfe with only one year in prison. And we already now know this man learned nothing from serving a one year sentence prior to this sentence. How do we know this you are saying. Well we know this because Mr. Wolfe stated so to the very Judge who had sentenced him twice already, that he felt deeply for his child victim and could not stop those feeling's. I'm wondering if he even realizes it is what he's said to all his victim's. I love you like I've never loved anyone. Yes I know Robert Wolfe well and I know this child was the one who got him caught after year's of violating his own daughter and step-daughter's, his own cousins and even friends of those who were family member's. And this is just a little glimpse of the sweeping under the rug the real fact's of sexual cases in my town. To say it lightly our officials don't look at it as such, but the fact is that is what happens in sexual cases. Plea Bargains are like Flea Bargains, you get a deal and the victim get's a life sentence of injustices from our community. STOP THE INJUSTICE HAPPENING TO THE VICTIM'S OF SEXUAL CRIME'S. STOP SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG AND START DOING YOUR JOB'S, which is not to only hear 1/3 of the cases in trial, or to plea bargain 1/4 of the crime's down to nothing that need stiffer sentencing handed down. Your job's are to without a shadow of the doubt get an honest and fair conviction for all involved and not some lame a-- excuse of why you did not do the job right to begin with, but how you will do a better job next round. And if the Judge is breaking the law like has been proven, then do something to get it made right, rather than sit on your bun's and twiddle your finger's wondering what to do. Get him off the bench, charge him with obstruction of justice, but for cry'n out loud don't sit there and let it continue to happen within the very system you took your oath on !!!
