JUSTICE AMERICAN STYLE


This is justice American style

written by Robert Stewart

America sends to prison minor's who have no hope of gaining parole! Some of their crimes may have been hideous but in many cases they have found themselves in bad situations after being led astray. There is a line between justice and revenge and I believe that line has often been crossed, not only by the prosecution but by victims. Here are four young women who have all been inside for up to 10 years after being convicted for murder as teenagers. I have written to all four but only Erin has responded.

CYNTOIA BROWN

Cyntoia was just 16 and homeless when she was selling herself to survive. She ended up as a sex slave and allegedly on drugs she shot a 43 year old man she was staying with. In this situation I believe that anyone supplying minors wirth drugs in order to control them should face the full weight of the law. Young girls on drugs and no means to pay for them are trapped into a situation they are unable to escape from. An ongoing campaign for Cyntoia's release including an online petition has been ongoing but she is still in proison and is now 28. She is in a Tennessee prison.

MORGAN LEPPERT

Morgan was 15 when she and her 22 year old boyfriend killed a disabled man. Morgan was led astray by her boyfriend who then testified against Morgan. I find that pitiful. I mean responsibility for this crime should have rested on the shoulers of her boyfriend even if she did commit a hedeous crime.  Morgan received life without parole but this was reduced to 25 years until she can be eligible for parole. Morgan is in a Florida prison. Morgan is held at the Florida Reception Women's Center Prison.

JENNIFER MEE

Jennifer was 22 years old when she lured an man to her home through social media in order to rob him but her two male accomplices did that and in the scuffle that followed, one of them shot the man who then died. In Florida, everyone who is party to a robbery where someone dies is equally of murder as the person who pulled the trigger. Jennifer was not even present at the crime scene. She did not intend for this to happen. She got life without parole. In this case Jennifer should have been guilty of manslaughter at the most. It was certainly not a first degree crime. Jennifer is held at the Florida Womens reception Center prison.

ERIN CAFFEY

Erin was 16 when she plotted the murder of her family but got her 19 year old boyfriend and his accomplice to carry it out. Erin Dad survived the shooting and forgave Erin. She may not walk out of prison. The other three involved in the murders all told the investigating officers how it was all Erin's slate a wrong idea but she should not have to take responsibility for their actions. I have written to many in the whitehouse concerning Erin but received no response. Erin is in the Hilltop Unit of Gatesville prison.

The prosecution in each of these crimes will say that the law says such and such but my view is "a wrong is a wrong irrespective of what the law says."  you cannot legislate a wrong a turn it into a right.

FINDING A SCAPEGOAT

Finding a Scapegoat You have heard the expression, "blaming the butler," well what this means is that when something has gone wrong there has always got to be a scapegoat. It lets other people off the hook and it is basically saying that "such and such wve happened if you had not done this or that or said such and such." In 2007, 16-year-old   Erin Caffey was found guilty of the murder of her mother and two younger sibling brothers. she actually did not kill them. Her then boyfriend of the time who was aged 18 and his associate did the killing while Erin and the girlfriend of the associate waiting in the car. It was all Erin's idea because her parents kept splitting up her relationships. Erin's Dad survived the massacre with I believe 11 gunshot wounds and he was able to identify the perpetrators. Unknown to him was that his own daughter Erin was behind the attack. The four were being questioned individually and the three older ones all

Connecting with the Right Company

He who walks with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:30 Written by Bob Stewart The people you spend most of your time with will influence how your life turns out. Often circumstances are such that people end up with company that is not ideal. It is not uncommon for people to be born into a drug and crimefree atmosphere. These are situations which are beyond the control of these people. But others end up in bad company in one way or another and in this post I am going to give some examples of how one can be controlled and how others can take advantage of this. There is a link between desires and fears. They basically feed off one another. An addict who desires drugs has the fear of not being supplied with drugs. The addict is then controlled by the supplier. In this way teenagers can be taken advantage of and are unable to severe ties with those who are abusing them. Love or lust is another desire which has its fears. The fear

US PLEA BARGAINING

  The majority of serious crimes in the United States involve a plea bargain where the accused is offered a more lenient sentence in return for pleading guilty. Is this right? I think that all depends on whether someone is guilty or innocent. In some cases it all depends on one's interpretation of the law. U.S. plea bargain leads to life sentence Is plea bargaining just an incentive for the accused to plead guilty? I cannot answer that question and am certainly not in a position to; I can only speculate but judging by one case of a young lady who rejected a plea bargain and unsuccessfully defended her case, it appears that those who lose their cases after rejecting a plea bargain that was offered seem to be penalised. The young lady in question is Jennifer Mee from Florida. As a nineteen year old she arranged a date with a young man with the intention of robbing him; her two male friends carried out the robbery which ended fatally.  Under Florida law, all participants in a fatal ro
