A Life Sentenced For Rape
Sexual predators
are usually added to a list as soon as they have been jailed. This list is
available to anyone across the Internet. More recently, they have started
posting the information on these predators on notice boards and other public
areas in neighborhoods. This may seem like a great caution to protect us from
those not properly rehabilitated. My concerns are that we were told to forgive
and forget. The Lord promised to spread our trespasses from east to west that
they would be forgotten. How do our new laws perpetuate this practice? And what
of the falsely accused who are subsequently jailed. How can we mistreat then
for life. Joseph Washington is a fictitious character from the TV series Boston
Legal. His life seems to mirror that of a young man in my local newspaper.
