Another story that made me laugh. In this case at a pathetic display of desperation on the part of a convicted child rapist. Morgan Douglas Jones was pleading for leniencey in a Alabama courtroom. He suggested a 5-year sentence as appropriate punishment for his brutal crime. He offered the following statement as proof of his sincerity.
…pleaded for leniency, saying he does not view this as a setback in life and a five-year term would allow him to get out and pursue a career as a minister.
The judge gave him 9 years, plus 5o-years of monitoring. Jones raped a 14-year-old girl he seduced via World of Warcraft. He deserves every minute of the nine year sentence.
I don’t want to give the impression that I believe Jones will try to become a pastor upon his release. I know he is attempting to link his despicable character to the moral superiority of Christianity in an effort to improve his standing. It is a fools quest, which is a good thing given Jones plays the fool so well.
