So you are hypothesizing that they neglected to prosecute child molesters of child molestation, and instead prosecuted them merely for 'homosexual acts'?
That may be the case, but I find it unlikely. Are there any specific examples?
Frankly though, as plainly unfortunate as those situations may be, those people should still be pardoned. When the prosecution fucks up, bad people can be declared not guilty. Same principle here. It is a risk we accept in the system.
- dllthomas 13y agoMy understanding (which could totally be wrong) is that the charge is "gross indecency," not specifically labeled "homosexual acts." If it was the latter, some attention might still be merited but I agree I'd rather err on the side of caution (in terms of meting out punishment improperly).
