conviction by DNA, yes, mandatory, but convicted by accusation alone?

with no empirical evidence?

Hang out in a courtroom for awhile. There's rarely a conviction even with evidence.

Our conviction rate for murder here is 56%.

I've looked on the registry for my area before. Several guys on there for being 16 and fucking a 15 year old. I can only hope there's more evidence that makes it worth the addition to the list.

That means, out of all murder charges actually laid against a person, only 56% of them result in any conviction whatsoever.

If you were to include murders with no arrest at all, the conviction rate is MUCH lower.

i must come from a different state then. both my parents are lawyers, and the culture up here is pretty fucked in this regard

In fact in our statutes of limitations, we have no limit if there is DNA evidence.

Yeah I have a feeling you're further north than me.

Michigan. I'd bet you're in arizona or new mexico, maybe texas

Further "South"

I'm a cop in the southeast.

florida or georgia then?

not that it matters really. laws are more lax down there, except in kentucky and arkansas

Around there.

We have a registered here in my county, from Michigan, charge is "criminal sexual conduct, third degree" whatever that mean

up there, that's practically nothing serious, but it'll land you on the registry for 25 years.

that's your 16 y/0 screwing a 15 y/o situation

Aside from him, I got a dude for statutory when he was 22, dunno the victim's age. A decent looking girl who is actually five years younger than me, Minnesota with the same criminal sex conduct charge

and where I come from in michigan, I know almost half a dozen people who've done that, and they're all upstanding people

Unlawful activity with minor 16-17 years old...33 when he was convicted though

oh, now that's a pickle

but is it worth 25 years of being a social leper? i wouldn't think so, unless he was a repeat offender

Aggravated sexual battery (anal rape basically), a sodomite, a few aggravated child molestation, lewd act with under 16 when he was 29, aggravated sodomy (basically the same as agg sex bat), lewd act when he was 22, a few child molestation

repeat offender. lock that motherfucker up and don't bat an eye about it

Dude convicted of enticing a child (child must be under 16), when he was 62

No no those are all different people

Statutory rape age 25, statutory rape age 21

A couple kiddie porn guys

oh.

Indecent assault on a child over 14 (grab a girl's ass probably)

He's from Mass so I dunno

oh man, mass's laws are so strict that if they were allowed they'd castrate you for the last one

Got a dude for sexual battery, which in some states means you grabbed a girl's tits or ass. In other states it actually means rape.

Hmm one of them, I clicked his name and got a 9MB Word document

A bunch of child molestation, which is basically inappropriate touching of a kid

The Word doc guy is a rapist. Nothing special, dunno why it gave me a doc

Lewd act on age 12-15 when he was 26, I also remember processing him in the jail years ago for not registering

Wisconsin sex assault first degree

Indian bitch from North Dakota with an obviously Indian name (a three word verb in English) for abusive sexual conduct
