Troll Control:
You know what's really sad, Whooter?  That you have such an extensive criminal record.  It's easy to see how you are desensitized to child victims of all sorts, because you have victimized many children yourself.  To you, a sociopath, a child is just an object.  Something to buy, sell, gratify your urges with, etc.  Please tell the readers how your flippant attitude about a child left to die in the streets dovetails with your own criminal history.  And also please explain your FBI number and why you're disallowed from owning firearms.  Was it sposual abuse, as you son indicated he believes while he was at HLA?  Or was is something evern more sinister involving children?  Please, do tell.  We are all interested in your explanation.

I don't have a criminal record.  What criminal record are you talking about?

I don't see how it matters where the perp. worked. guilt is guilt. But if he WAS someone who worked at a program, someone who was a professional care giver to children, then what does that say? "Remember kids, don't drink and drive".

Ursus:
Ugh. There is no justice.

Check out the accompanying video news clip, and try telling me there isn't something that really reeks of small town corruption here.

Local Video News Coverage: Probation Not Enough For Family

TAVARES -- It was an emotional day in court for a Lake County family as they heard the driver accused of hitting their daughter and leaving her to die on the side of the road will get off with probation.

News 13 was there when Rhonda Conard, the mother of the Megan Hensley, 14, told the judge the plea deal was not enough to punish the driver.

The crash happened in May 2008. It took officers seven months to track down the driver Paul Wright, 44.

Hensley’s family is livid with the State Attorney's Office and said this case should have gone to trial.

"I'm saddened that the judicial system let me down, let Megan down. Because this is what this is for, for her. And it's like the criminals have more rights than the victims do nowadays," Conard said.

The judge agreed in the courtroom that Wright's punishment is light.

Wright will get seven years of probation and have to wear a GPS bracelet for two of those years.

He also will likely lose his right to drive indefinitely.

The plea deal requires Wright to visit Hensley's gravesite once a year, as well as write apology letters to the family.

Wright could have faced a maximum of 35 years.

News 13 spoke with the prosecutors who said based on the legal facts of the case, they did the best they could.

The guy who left her on the side of the road would not have been convicted of murder 1 and/or murder 2.  He would not have been convicted of manslaughter.  So, there is not a hell of allot they could do with the driver.
