Maybe the feeling is that it's very likely an innocent man is now going to prison for at least 30 years and we're all just watching it happen. The jury pool is tainted by the media's biased reporting on Scientology and the prosecution leaned on it heavily.
This wasn't the prosecution of a man, it was the persecution of religion in the United States. Far more icky than a single sentence.
Scientology was a HUGE factor in the second trial where it wasnтАЩt allowed to be admitted in during the first trial. Interestingly enough after he was not convicted the first time both the prosecution and defense get to talk to the jurors to find out what was keeping them from finding him guilty or what worked for the defense. Guess they got their answer and went harder on Scientology in the second trial. Religious beliefs and hatred of religion just cost someone their life and freedom.
This whole thing just gives me an icky feeling. I don't know what happened. Rape is so horrible. This sentence feels "off." I don't know why.
It probably feels "off" because our legal system lets most people get away with rape, or have very little consequence.
Boom
