So much for Texas law & punishment!
Texas - Outrage has surfaced after a Collin County jury sentenced a Frisco teenager to probation after he raped a woman at gunpoint in front of her own children.
Leaders of a North Texas rape crisis center are among those calling the jury’s decision outrageous and unfair.
“He does deserve to go to prison,” said the victim of the attack. “He deserves more than that.”
A Collin County jury found Grant Morehead-Whitaker guilty of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated robbery, which are charges that usually send defendants to Texas prisons for years.
The victim told jurors Morehead-Whitaker forced his way into her apartment at gunpoint and raped her in front of her two young children. Even so, the jury sentenced him to ten years probation for each crime.
“I was shocked,” the victim said. “I was very disappointed. I was upset.”
Collin County prosecutor Curtis Howard said probation is rare in a case like this, and asked jurors to sentence Morehead-Whitaker to 50 years in prison.
“The guy used a weapon, forced his way into a home where a woman was with her two small children and sexually assaulted her in front of her children,” he said.
Leaders of the Turning Point Rape Crisis Center of Collin County said they are angered by the sentence, which they called inappropriate for a crime they call heinous and horrible. MORE>>>
What the fuck?
I’d say 50 years in prison is lenient on this piece of shit, but probation?
He deserves the noose!
