    Abner, I know you'll disagree automatically, so I'm saving you the trouble...

    So the black guy gets 15 years for raping an unconscious white girl, but the white guy gets 6 months for doing the same. Granted, Tennessee law mandates 15 years, but the disparity is mind-blowing nonetheless.

    I just don't quite understand the value of showing her the videos and pictures. She could've been spared those images and the psychological damage that comes with it. Maybe she requested to see them, I don't know, but it doesn't seem like a wise decision either way.

    ''My mother and family did not raise me in any way to mistreat anyone, let alone a woman, as I have been raised predominantly by women,'' Batey told the court.

    And the beat goes on...

    No, you are exactly right on this one. My bad, in my anger i was quick to post the article before fully reading it. That is quite a disparity. Jesus Christ!
