Yeah... shit like this is why I wouldn't occasionally mind seeing some more vigilante justice in the world. The courts and local law enforcement are severely dropping the ball on this one. I grew up in Ashland, not much different from Steubenville, but there's no effing way this would slide back home, the people wouldn't tolerate it one bit. We may not be a big name football school like they are, but the city would at least get the simple decision of a person's life being scarred forever as being far more important than football, not to mention the cops up there will still cite you for speeding at 5 over, even if you're the mayor... (then again we have bored Nazi cops who don't give a shit who you are, they'll find a reason to hassle you).
Fascinating RT @DanWetzel: In Steubenville, Ohio, tensions rise and rumors fly as rape trial begins. Column: http://t.co/m9cllxlEby— Jeff Svoboda (@JeffSvoboda) March 13, 2013
I was reading up in yahoo and rapist lawyer said the testimony of the 3 girl friends of the victim could be tossed out, way yahoo article sounded its gone from sure on conviction to 50/50, this thing is going to get crazy
Only thing about this whole trial I can defend is anonymous had no right to hack these kids, those pics and videos should be thrown out since they were illegally obtained, and nothing special about 4000 contact, your a football stud in football town so any smart phone seeks your Facebook contacts. But DAMN I only have 50 haha

Hmmm... Not sure how I feel about this sentence if they were found "guilty" I'm sure they learned their lesson and it will never happen again with them (unless they are on the receiving end over the next 1-2 years)
They would have faced a lot more time if they were charged in the adult system. They were tried as juveniles so the penalties are lesser.
I don't know about that. Anonymous hacking you isn't the same thing as an illegal search and seizure by the government. I don't think the evidence should be thrown out, but these guys should be allowed to file civil suit against the hackers after they get out. Though... they'd have to figure out who they were first...
i cant stand those fags in anonyomous(sp) have some balls stop hiding behind mask, to me you talk big game, hack shit, but are a pussy to really stand up to a man face to face..cowards
Why are you upset with them? As far as I'm aware, they've uncovered some pretty deep things... In fact, it's a shame that our media isn't as good as these guys... In all honesty, the evidence uncovered by Anonymous along with the national attention was what probably brought the kid in this case to justice... I'm pretty thankful for the group (if you can even call it that), and hope they're able to continue their work.
