How to Vicariously Rape a First Grader

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Become a judge, have your soul excised, and send a man with an IQ of 47 to prison:

For more than six hours Tuesday, as a parade of witnesses testified about the severity of Aaron Hart’s mental retardation and his inability to understand his legal rights, the 18-year-old defendant with an IQ of 47 sat silent and shackled in a chair, alternately fidgeting and making faces.

But in the end, none of it was enough to persuade a judge in this small east Texas town to reconsider the 100-year prison sentence he gave Hart in February after Hart pleaded guilty to molesting a 6-year-old boy.

Here’s an indication of what an IQ of 47 really means:

Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140

Eric Clifford, you’re a fucking liar:

Clifford, who last week said he had agonized over the case, took only a few seconds to issue his ruling.

Hart’s parents say he has been raped repeatedly by other inmates since he was first arrested last September.

Drop dead, Clifford. You took the coward’s path: you used the “law” as a substitute for rational thought, at the expense of a small child in an adult body.

Spend a day in Aaron’s place. I dare you.
