Steubenville rape case investigated by higher court
- Posted to Justice in Steubenville
To: Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General
We demand that Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine launch a new investigation of all evidence that has been released regarding the Steubenville 'rape crew'. The investigation that took place within the Steubenville legal system has been insufficient. Steubenville has refused to acknowledge new...

The judicial system in Steubenville has demonstrated itself as unfit to conduct a proper investigation into the events surrounding the rape of a 16-year-old girl. The perpetrators made public comments on Twitter showing no remorse or sense of humanity. The courts in Steubenville have been incapable of showing even a modicum of justice; only two of the rapists were charged, and both were deferred to juvenile justice and have been released on bail. It seems as though all parties involved are trying to protect the rapists instead of the victim.
In addition to signing, you can call Attorney General Mike DeWine's office at 800-282-0515 or emailing his staff at consumer.web@ohioattorneygeneral.gov.

tl;dr (too long ; didn't read summary)
"In a trial that moved quickly through the weekend with a visiting judge, 17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond have been found guilty. Mays was sentenced to a minimum of two years in a juvenile correctional facility. Richmond was sentenced to a minimum of one year, but like Mays could be in detention until he is 21.

This situation is definitely being investigated withprejudice against the victim. These 16 year olds are old enough to face the court as adults. Their actions are not juvenille.
I think Maggi Evans had to go take a nap since she apparently is still a child. Since all she could come up with is "not true" twice and now that people are asking her what she meant she is not responding. She was probably stomping her feet when she posted and playing "is not, is so, is not, is so" with herself. LOL Can't understand why people who don't have a point feel like they have to post and then not respond. Please stop wasting space on the board unless you can explain yourself. I apologize in advance for wasting space with this comment.... :)
Maggi Evans . How is it in ANY way not true ffs ????? These twats committed a vicious gang rape , took pics and filmed it AND bragged about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should be tried as adults for rape at their age.
These Pricks, should be sent to prison for the Rest of Their Lives and subjected daily, to the same depravity, to which they subjected their Victim. A Jury, need to be selected from another town!
did they actually kill her as well? O_o
oh my god,,,what kind of teenagers???i m agree wit you Andrew..send them to jail
I just cant get over this I cant believe those losers did that to her and then to make a video n post it on twitter laughtin about what they had done(NO SIGN OF REMORSE AT ALL)...the damn justice system better not let down her, her family and all of us who what NOTHING but justice for this poor girl.boy r they going to hate life if sent to prison cuz I'm sure their are quite a few men in there that will take advange of them in the same way n when the other inmates find out what they did they...

I just pray that this girl will be strong enough for it not to effect her future in negative ways..so so sry this happened to you! u r in my thoughts n prayers!
ohh i kno unfournatly i kno a few guys that have been in prison n boyyyy r these guys gonna hate life...they will get theirs in one way or another
You bet they are... Rape, child abuse, anything against a child or woman, and its found out. It's blanket party time.. over and over and over again. Until they check in or they're dead. Hard truth, but fact... Nobody hates a rapist or child molester more than a convict....
Yes, they SHOULD be severely punished.
But let's not become the animals they are. We need to strive to be better than people like this - it's the only way to move forward into a better future for everyone. When people like this are appropriately punished, then others who consider doing the same thing may think twice. If they ignore this, justice will not be served and more actions like this will be inevitable. I hope the Ohio AG enters into a full investigation.
to say the truth, life without Jesus is meaningless. the bible say , for God so love he world so that he gave his only one so that who so ever believe in him should not perish but have internal life.Gods aim is to take his people back from the kingdom of darkness into his glory.
Yeah obviously God created everything good and bad, but Heaven/Paradise will be the ultimate abode of those who believe in Him and do good, and Hell will be the ultimate abode for those who disbelieve
Yes, God made rules to obey by,and they were told not to eat of the tree of good,and evil. If Adam,and Eve ate then death would come to them. So they ate. This gave man a sinful nature,and so we are born with a sinful nature and in time we will sin,and die. God sent Jesus down on this earth to die for our sins,so when we died from this earth we could be with God in Heaven if we trusted,and believed in The Lord Jesus Christ as our Savour,and that Jesus paid the price for our sins by suffering for all our sins on the cross. We are saved by Grace it is a gift from God,not by our works we do to get to Heaven. God knew we couldn't be perfect like Christ. Christ loved us so much He would come,and die,and rise up three days later victourious over death. If we reject Jesus as our Savour then we are condemned already,and our just punishment for rejecting Jesus is separation from Hm,and life in Hell burning forever,and never burning up. Total darkness is hell,and grinding of the peoples teeth because of the pain of fire because they rejected Christ. It is up to the people whether they want to go to Heaven or Hell. Christ paid the price for our sins on the cross.It your choice.
They MUST be dealt with. One way or the other. I want to watch the video when someone catches up with them.
This little punk and his friends I bet made his parents real proud. This punk needs to go to jail with all the other ones and have the same thing happen to him and have the guards just laugh away. Dear God please come and take your children with you. If this is what this world is coming to we have noithing left.
Put the parents in jail for raising such scum!
Hell yes! As the mother of 4 teenage boys, this made me sick...who raised these depraved animals??? I can't imagine any one of mine in this situation...that's beyond not having a moral compass---it's evil
These guys think its so funny, I hope they go to prison, and big mouth that's popping off so much gets his ass raped so much his insides are rearranged, better be glad I cant get my hands on them, worthless, waste of space! My prayers go out to the girl and her family!
