Voices: Too lenient


Day after day, we read about child molesters and sexual predators getting a plea bargain from the courts.Even some repeat offenders.

While it seems to be OK to tie up the court systems with such offenses as marijuana possession or smoking in prohibited places, the sexual perverts get a plea deal and a slap on the wrist.

Come on, you judges and prosecutors, get your priorities in line.
