According to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, a prosecutor and judge in Oklahoma conspired to permit a 64 year old man to cop a plea for child rape that netted him less than 4 months in jail, because he’s been held already for about 8 months (time served). The usual sentence in OK is 20 years.

And it wasn’t a single act of rape of a minor. This was multiple rapes of a 5 year old. In addition, a 6 year old boy was caused to engage in sex with the 5 year old—all while the single mother of the two victims permitted this monster to babysit for them. The mother agreed to the plea bargain, supposedly to prevent her daughter from having to testify (as if 5 year olds are put on the stand in open court these days).

Ever hear of videotaped testimony? Ever hear of surveillance cameras in the home to watch “caregivers”?

Names to remember:

David Harold Earls, child rapist, pedophile, sexual predator

Tim Mills, defense attorney

Assistant D.A., Lisa Birdwell

Assistant D.A., Mike Miller

District Judge Tom Bartheld

Names we should know: the mother of these poor little kids—why is she allowed to retain custody of them?

• According to the MacAlester News-Capital: “Earls told McAlester police in September that he was a ‘grandpa-type figure’ who had baby-sat the girl and her young brother several times while their mother was at work. He also told police that mothers near his home would allow their daughters to come sleep with him, according to the court affidavit filed in the case by McAlester police Det. Frankie McClendon.

It sounds to me as if Detective McClendon is the hero in this tragedy.

More Evidence for 3-Strikes-And-You're-Out

According to the above newspaper:

• “The charge against Earls had been filed with the prior conviction enhancement for a 1992 burglary in Pushmataha County that resulted in a five-year sentence, and a 1996 conviction in Hughes County for assault with a dangerous weapon that resulted in a 20-year sentence.”

I guess they have a problem with big numbers in Oklahoma. 1992 + 5 = 1997 and 1996 + 20 = 2016.
