One of the biggest miscarriage of justice I've ever witnessed.
What a stupid misogynist judge. With all the witnesses to this travesty, I hope no one re-elects him to his seat again.
shareI can understand your anger and I see where you're coming from, but I don't think that judge was misogynistic -- he seemed genuinely horrified by what the family endured and remorseful about the sentence he had to pass down. But I think that's just it: I think that, by the letter of Oregon state law, that sentence was probably what he HAD to deliver, based on what Wendy and her son had already confessed to doing (I believe they can appeal, right?). A tragedy for everyone involved...
shareDidn't the police refuse to investigate? Did anyone do any tests to evaluate her after her head was slammed into every wall in the house. Child abuse, animal abuse...he should have been behind bars, and this wouldn't have happened. Total negligence all around. On the other thread you can e-mail the governor, I think it's worth everyone's time, to bring a family that's suffered enough, together.
shareAgreed -- if he had been arrested when he should have been (years earlier), this could all have been prevented. As far as the police refusing to investigate, though, the impression I got was that they were called to the house, but then didn't intervene further, because Wendy was forced to send them away and downplay the problem under Aaron's watchful eye (remember the story that she and her son told about the cops coming by, but they couldn't say or do anything because they were being seen by Aaron's surveillance camera while they were outside? Terrifying). I think that the cops could definitely have pressed further, but -- sadly -- they probably encounter domestic disturbance cases so often that they don't always "interfere" when it is indeed necessary.
Speaking of animal abuse...that stuff with him and the deer was really disturbing.
And what he did to their dogs. I mean who shoots a baby deer, and then kick it in the head> a sociopath.
shareAnd what he did to their dogs. I mean who shoots a baby deer, and then kick it in the head> a sociopath.
Who sees this sociopathic behavior, allows themselves to get treated like a punching bag for twenty years...AND DOESN'T TAKE HER KIDS AND LEAVE?!?
She is as much to blame for what happened as he was. Anyone in their right mind gets hit once, maybe twice, by their spouse and leaves. Only a moron stays FOR TWENTY YEARS until somebody gets killed, maybe her and her kids.
........the idiotic cock-eyed flum-dummery! share
I think you'd really like this film it's called 'Troll Hunter' you creepy little scumbag
