This is why I disagree with stringent sentencing guidelines. I guess I'm supposed to assume that since he was found guilty there was enough evidence of rape to justify it, but I think his sentence completely depends on his demeanor in court and a variety of other factors. I voted "fixed sentence with counseling," because that could be anywhere from one year to 25 years. In a more clear-cut case of aggravated rape, I'd be willing to commit to a much more clear-cut punishment.

pretty much exactly my reason for asking and not giving further details to the story... We, the public, have to trust the judgement of the jury, so we must presume that there is enough evidence against him to find him guilty. But maybe he isn't.....
