19. "A child rapist get fewer years........."

Really? What country are you from? Maybe for consensual statutory rape you'd see a light sentence, but I've heard of few real child rapists who get 16 years with the possibility of parola after only 6.

26. I really hate the GOLDMANS.they have NO business to be there at all. GET OVER IT! GOLDDIGGERS! This is a get even game and if they were really good people they would know they have no business in that court room. They wanted to make the judge know they were there to feel pity on them. OJ was found not guilty in the murder trial period. Goldmans need counseling period. A good dose of shut the hell up and get on with it!
