What`s worse than child molestation? Get rid of that guy and figure out what the Iranis would do with a man who was spoken guilty in those cases.

I agree. I don't think deportation is going to happen with him having a wife & daughter and with him living in the states for so long.

annoyance or molestation is quite a difference surely?

Are you sure its legitimate child molestation and not something like Statutory rape?

I'd wait to pass judgement until I know the legitimacy of the crime.

Either way deportation should have been done or not done at the time of the conviction.

[ QUOTE ]
Wait, you actually feel sorry for a child molester? Deportation is not even close to what he deserves in my book.

[/ QUOTE ]

the law is bullsht (imagine another crime if need be). He could of been deported when immediately after serving his prison term but he wasn't.

Now under the guise of Homeland Security he is being unfairly targeted for deportation and arrested many years later for no apparent reason.

He has served his time and was deemed fit to stay in the country. He has been a productive citizen since then, therefore he shouldnt be frced to leave now. Retroactively punishing people is a bad precedent to allow. It might lead to all kinds of issues down the road.

With that said, I have no issues with OJ not being able to get anywhere close to a fair shake in the current legal issues.


Oh and the old lady he "killed" was 90 yrs and it was the result of a car accident on a rainy day. Vegas people arent to good with driving in the rain.

Yeah, if he had consensual sex with a hottie who happened to be just under the age of consent, that hardly makes him what most people would think of as a child molestor.

9 months in jail is a lot for a misdemeanor, where the max time is generally 12 months anyway. This suggests that he must have done some pretty nasty stuff - perhaps felony charges were plead down to a misdemeanor?

I don't have Pacer access, but a brief entry re: his habeus corpus action can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/32gcp4

Cheers, Carl.
