Past, present, or future tense in this lesson of justice is a judgement call of an unoriginal circumstances. Good Article Janice to let others know that justice can be altered by even a blind man that judges. Justifying in real time situations can be so upsetting in many justice imbalances. Railroading justice is nothing to sneeze about.
Have to agree with the judge. And the so called Victim running to the restroom to cry well she’s a [Moderators edited profanity]
h hope she was crying about her immaturity and the poor choice she made to consume alcohol so young. Ya the 18year old shouldn’t have taken advantage. this was a crime of opportunity and I didn’t read anywhere that she was forced to consume alcohol.
