Comments on: Randy Jennings: Another Pervert High School Coach http://www.belch.com/blog/2006/07/28/randy-jennings-another-pervert-high-school-coach/ I can't believe that came from your mouth! Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:14:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: seton2001 http://www.belch.com/blog/2006/07/28/randy-jennings-another-pervert-high-school-coach/#comment-62003 seton2001 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 06:35:48 +0000 http://www.belch.com/~blog/2006/07/28/randy-jennings-another-pervert-high-school-coach/#comment-62003 Just doing some research and came across this blog. I'm no expert, just trying to understand some things. It sounds like he did have a good lawyer b/c from what I've read VA laws are more severe than NC. Or it could be that what the media published and the actual facts were two different things. That's besides the point. I do believe the punishment fit the crime. However, this is the part I don't understand. After researching the county he is in I found that the majority of offenders who have actually physically molested a child (some as young as 4) have gotten off with probation. Also, to correct someone from earlier. It was 20 years. 5 years for each felony. He was also charged in NC for the actually downloading. They don't have this charge in VA, therefore it doesn't fit double jeopardy. One more thing, we should protect our children from these types of terrible acts but why is child pornography even allowed to make it to the internet. There shouldn't even be access and I KNOW the government could do something about it. But wait let me guess, The 1st Amendment. If someone started a website selling crack cocaine over the internet it would be shut down in a minute. Just doing some research and came across this blog.

But the prosecutor is likely also to blame.

Once the deadline passes for any appeals, I can give more details. That and the fact that Va has some of the worse penalties for those that possess child pornography.

But he will always be a sex offender and he should never be allowed around children unsupervised. His court case was supposed to be earlier this week or last. Was he found guilty? As far as not judging him, well, God gave us the ability to observe dangerous situations and people and to avoid placing ourselves in harm's way. Failure to use proper judgment is the realm of the foolish. I frequently get complaints that I shouldn’t judge people. I frequently refer them to this article I wrote on my blog: http://www.belch.com/~blog/2006/03/14/brilliant-lawyer-employs-you-dont-know-me-defense/ As I said before, if I wrote something that is incorrect I will change it. If you don’t like that I have written a scathing article pointing out the criminal activity committed by a member of your congregation, well... Too bad. You found it I'm sure by using Google. Every employer, acquaintance and potential child victim will be able to type in his name into a search engine and know what he has done. We can forgive, but Google never forgets. I replied:
