Judges should be held accountable for their choices. This is fucking insane.

The mother telling him to stay strong, we're coming to get you, you wont be in there long, after knowing (and personally hearing) what he did is so very sickening. She should be locked up too.

Like others have said, all he learned was to make sure his victims couldn’t talk the next time! Serial sexual offenders don’t change!!!

Here in minnesota, my niece, sabrina Schnoor was violently killed by her ex boyfriend. He put a gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. In court, we were not allowed to use half the evidence against him. The justice system protected him from the jury's hearing about all the domestic abuse calls. Eyewitnesses were not allowed to testify about him strangling her. Text messages were kept out of the court of him saying he was gonna kill her because it painted him in a bad light. Because of this, he got a slap on the wrist. In honor of her, we started a petition called sabrina's law.Minnesota domestic violence evidence reform. If we can get enough signatures on this petition. It would change the laws to protect the victims, and all evidence can be submitted to courts.Please take the time to look up this petition
