Justice in Pennsylvania?

Apparently, some of the people in Pennsylvania have lost their minds lately. The first two stories really upset me, so I was glad to see that at least some of these people were just loony, not power-maddened asses.
  • In Philadelphia: Judge Teresa Carr Deni should be asked to step down. Her Dishonor decided that a defendant who participated in the gang rape of a woman should not be prosecuted for rape and assault. Instead, she held the guy on an armed robbery/theft of services charge, since his victim was a prostitute. Read Jill Porter's story, which includes an interview with Judge Deni.
  • Scranton: Police charged a woman for cussing inside her house. Apparently, people in Penn. are not allowed to use profanity inside their homes. I want to know why the cop didn't get in trouble for hanging out under the lady's bathroom window.
  • Pittsburgh: A woman is trapped under an SUV while spying on her husband.

  1. mmmm, morpho. You are pushing my buttons today, lol.

    bottom to top:

    One guess who let the air out of the tires ;)

    i believe cussing at an overflowing toilet is protected free speech, lol.

    Damn it! Rape is never about sex, it is about power and domination and humiliation. I don't care what the victim does for a living, in the eyes of the law what was done to that woman was rape, not "theft of services". Grrrr.
