Gagging Derek Kimball

I know, the title gives ya all sorts of ideas on how to deal with this monster.

Many of you will recall that Derek Kimball is the another child molester connected to the now famous Vermont case in which Judge Cashman sentenced a sexual predator to 60 days in jail (it has since been reversed and Mark Hulett is serving at least three years in prison).

Kimball is getting set for going to court in the case in which he is accused of molesting the vary same child as his friend Hulett was convicted of. Interestingly enough, Kimball doesn't seem to be looking forward to the media attention his case SHOULD be getting. So, in a swift legal move, his defense has requested a gag order on the case.

Derek Kimball, 33, of Hinesburg, is facing life in prison if convicted of three felony sex charges that he molested the girl. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Kimball's attorney Margaret Jansch asked a judge to prevent anyone involved in the case, including attorneys, police and social workers, from making public comments.
Prosecutors are opposed to Jansch's motion. Vermont District Court Judge Michael Kupersmith said he would rule on the motion soon. Read Full Report

Thankfully, I am not involved in the case, so no matter how this case goes- I can loudly voice my thoughts on it : "I HOPE THIS MONSTER IS LOCKED UP FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE" what he has done to this innocent child is unforgivable, and for that there must be a tough punishment. With the announcement of the first sentence of Hulett, many many where outraged that he got off with a slap on the wrist- in fact many still feel that even with the new sentence- it is too lax. Let's not allow the same thing to happen yet again.

From sources close to the case, information I received during the Hulett/ Cashman fury leads me to believe that although Hulett's abuse of this child lasted longer, Kimballs was much more violent, and threatening. This child and her family have been denied justice long enough. We must continue to demand it with the same force that we demanded Cashman to change his sentence.

It the judge in this case decides to agree to the gag order- we the public are left in the dark as to what is happening within the case. It is much easier to prevent another "Cashman type sentence" when we are armed with information. Let us not allow the system to fail this child once more.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house...
