Here's a link to my post from last year about an astonishingly similar case to the Steubenville case except, of course, that all of the perpetrators walked and the victim had to transfer.
Watching this thing unfold this year has been a sickening reminder of how, in the Maryville case, the justice system just served as an arm of the ruling class, in this case a GOP ruling class.
I suspect the Maryville case is actually the more typical outcome. If one of those kids had a politically-connected grandfather, this would've just been swept under the rug like it was in Maryville last year.
