Do prosecutors set sentencing in Cal.? Can their Judges tell the difference between a kid with a joint, and a career criminal? Obviously you cant.

Three strikes and your out is for baseball. Not sociopaths. The guy shouldn't have been out on the street.

The guy was convicted of theft, burglary and possession of illegal drugs.

Does this sound like a sociopath to you?

Where, in the US, does the judge act as jury?

Happens all the time in civil cases, and in matters of custody of children, just like the example I gave above.

Wanna guess who here doesn't have a clue how the system works?

I have no clue how custody cases are handled. I'm still married. I still have my children. We all live in the same house.

Married here, too, however I get to see custody cases and read files all the time- you'd be surprised what a teacher gets to see. I also work with a number of social workers, counselors, court appointees, etc.

Oh yes, the judge most certainly can be the jury.

Yep. But lets wait till he kills someone in one of these thefts or burglaries or maybe when he's high out of his mind..

Then his, not giving a toejam about anyone but himself, will really show and he might get more than a slap on the wrist.

nah......even then he should be cut some slack..after all he's a human being..just like us..

On the other hand... the sexual assault charge that Ratliff was wanted for would have been his third strike. The guy was looking at a life sentence if convicted.

Scariest thing on the planet is a man with nothing left to lose...

You know, there was this part in Austin Powers II when Will Farrell played an assassin who couldn't bear to have questions repeated twice... Powers commented "why the slavish devotion to form?"... So, if the guy has been through the mill twice, why give him the third chance? Don't we have enough studies to suggest sexual offenders seldom if ever are rehabilitated?

That's the thing. Ratliff was not a convicted sex offender. There was a warrant for his arrest for a sexual assault. All things in order... First, catch the sexual offender. Second, prosecute the sexual offender in court. Third, punish/incarcerate the sexual offender. Fourth, upon the sexual offender's release from prison, notify his community.

Can hardly blame the judicial system for not getting to steps 3 and 4.

Karnak hit the nail on the head. If our police force wasn't so busy chasing down drug users, they might have time to catch the real criminals.

Sorry, in my not-so-popular book drug offenders, particularly dealers, are a problem. That's another debate altogether, however.

so in short these 2 girls getting raped by a wanted fellon is the fault of the liberal judicial system that wanted to lock him up and drugs.that were never mentioned once anywhere reguarding the case.
