160 Works for Me

A jury sentenced, and a judge laid the sentences out consecutively rather than the defenses desired concurrent method, a child molester to 160 years after finding him guilty of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by exposure.

Prosecution argued, and the jury evidently agreed that Keith Allen Porter sexually abused a now 12 year old boy. During testimony for sentencing, the jury learned that Porter had also sexually assaulted the victims younger bother although he was no charged in connection to that.

His attorney, Stan Schwieger, said he will appeal the conviction and the judge’s order to “stack” the sentences instead of ordering them to be served concurrently.

“I think it is a tragedy for everybody,” Schwieger said. “Certainly it is a tragedy for my client, certainly a tragedy for his family and certainly a tragedy for those who made the allegations. It was not a happy place in 54th Court this week.”

Sloan said Porter deserved the long sentence. Prosecutors had offered him 20 years in prison in a plea bargain before trial started and increased it to 25 years after the boy, now a 12-year-old fifth-grader, testified Tuesday, Shafer said.

“I am glad the jury took this opportunity to sentence a pedophile,” Sloan said. “I think the sentence is appropriate considering the facts and the evidence.”

In punishment phase testimony, it was revealed that Porter also abused the boy’s younger brother while taking a bath with the siblings at a home in West. He was tried only in the abuse of the older boy.


As if being a pedophile wasn't enough to prove that this man was a disgusting waste of human DNA- it seems he also had a odd obsession of collecting dead animals in jars.

Porter, who has misdemeanor convictions for family violence and criminal mischief, also kept a collection of dead animals, including a kitten, turtles, frogs, a snake and an unidentified animal, in jars filled with oil in his closet, according to court testimony.

A West police detective said she also found dead animals in his freezer. The older boy testified that Porter put the kitten into the jar of oil while it was still alive.

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...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Jamie Rose Bolin

Jamie Bolin was last seen alive on Wednesday, while at the local library... and although she was reported missing when she failed to return home, no Amber Alert was issued until Thursday night. I understand the need to maintain certain criteria should be met when issuing an Amber Alert... I realise the importance of attempting to ensure that the public doesn't become conditioned to the alerts and slowly begin to ignore them... and yet, something in me is completely bothered that a 10 year old can go missing without people being informed of it. The police believe, according to a statement released that even if an Amber Alert had been released- we'd still be faced with the same horrible end to this story... but how can they know that? What is the possibility that someone may have seen even the smallest piece of evidence and called LE? Can we really accept that there was nothing that could have saved this child? Now, I don't mean to criticize anyone, I really don't. I ju...
