KBJ soft on sex crimes is a narrative that doesn't stand up to scrutiny

In helping Jackson illustrate her approach, Durbin cited a case the judge handled in 2019, during which she detailed to the defendant how his actions had “torn apart” the victims and their families.

In that case, Jackson sentenced a D.C. man to 29 years and six months for taking videos of the daughters of a woman he was romantically involved with and sexually assaulting them.

Federal prosecutors strongly urged Jackson to follow federal sentencing guidelines and commit Charles Hillie to 45 years in prison for that crime, with 30 years of the sentence stemming from child-pornography guidelines for hiding cameras in the house to watch the girls undress. Hillie’s attorney, Joanne Slaight, pressed Jackson, arguing the guidelines were outrageous and inconsistent with those for violent crimes.

Jackson overruled many objections lodged by Hillie’s attorney and split the difference, sentencing the 35-year-old to 30 years in prison, minus six months already served during trial.

“What I care about most at this moment is the impact of this reprehensible behavior on the lives of the victims, who were children at the time,” Jackson said at sentencing. “From the testimony that was presented, it was crystal clear to this court that their lives will never be the same as a result of your offenses.”

On Tuesday, Durbin told Jackson, “The notion that you look at this casually or with leniency, as the senator said, your record belies that.”

RepubliCONS seem to have forgotten that lenient sentencing of sex crims was a weak vetting point for the "I LIKE BEER" guy and several other Trump era judicial appointments.

The issue reeks of hypocrisy as well as illustrating how close they are to scraping a hole in the bottom of the barrel.

I just got here so I don't know if this has been shared yet.

That's racist. Embroidery and lace-making were invented by white women.

Your political troll is boring, it hasn't changed in all the years you've posted.


Then don't read them. But we all know you read every word I poast. Most everyone does. I am after all the great and incomparable Gurk MacGuintey.

I read most things under 4 sentences. At least you don't bloviate unlike one of your allies with opinion diarrhea.

Brevity is the soul of textual greatness, it is true.

So honestly, do you read Dove's word diarrhea or scroll past after the first sentence like sane people do?

eta: Because it seems you threw Queen Word Diarrhea under the bus with that response.
