Eugene Snitily

Eugene Snitily's lawyer believes the sentence he received for molesting his 4 year old granddaughter is too harsh, so he's considering appealing it.

While that's not unusual, because no one ever thinks their sentence is fair, I think this lawyer might just be trying to redefine the term "harsh". After all, two years probation barely even hints at being a real punishment.

The judge in the case, who served on the March of Dimes board with Snitily in 1981 believed the sentenced was justified, and "said it was appropriate in light of the guilty verdict. He said Judge Randall relied on psychological testing and expert assessments. "The court made the decision that Mr. Snitily is at very low risk of acting out in any sexual manner."

Meanwhile, the County Attorney also plans on appealing the sentence, stating " "We felt that sentence was inappropriate and excessively lenient so therefore, I'm filing an appeal.""

The girl's mother, who is not being identified in order to protect the victim, says last week's sentence left her daughter without justice.

"It's ripped us apart. It's been horrible and traumatic," she told Channel 6 News. "Every piece of it from the second this happened until now has just been horrid."

She says she never expected the sentence would actually be appealed. "I'm really glad. I'm really glad. I think it was thanks to all the people that called and sent e-mails and wrote letters. Without them, I don't know if this would have happened."

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...

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...
