I sincerely hope that there is a special ring in hell reserved for those who abuse their power as representatives of the government's so-called "justice" system.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/lamonte-armstrong-wrongfully-convicted_n_1644714.htmlThrockmorton P.

It would not be improbable that at some might make false accusations as alleged by Sandusky’s defense. Sandusky’s adopted son Matt has now accused his adoptive father as having abused him. He has been described as having been “troubled.” As per reports on Yahoo and NBC: " Jerry Sandusky's son Matt recalled showering with his future adoptive father as a boy and pretending to be asleep to avoid being touched — memories that surfaced only recently..." “NBC’s Iskioff also reports that Sandusky, who was adopted by Jerry Sandusky and his wife, Dottie, at age 18, continues to undergo therapy and is only now recalling more details about his encounters with Sandusky.”<br />Former basketball coach Bernie Fine of Syracuse University was accused by a man he had helped raise, Floyd VanHooser, who now is serving 16 years to life for repeat burglary. He has recanted and said the police suggested things to him and he went along. Another accuser of Fine, Zachary Tomaselli, recanted and said "I fabricated everything about Bernie Fine…Basically, I'm a sociopath. I take a lot of pride in lying." <br />David B. Cohen, the late professor of psychology at U of Texas at Austin, wrote “Stranger in the Nest.” He said no matter what an parent may do for an adopted child, heredity will win out. And when people who adopt tend, on average, to be nicer, more responsible, and more altruistic than most people, and when most adopted kids are the “troubled” offspring of difficult and irresponsible people, you have a potentially tragic situation.<br />Paraphrasing what Harvard professor of psychology Steven Pinker wrote in his best seller “The Blank Slate”: There are three laws of behavioral genetics. 1. Human behavioral traits are heritable…2. The effect of being raised in the same family is much smaller than the effect of genes…3. A substantial portion of variation… in human behavioral traits is not accounted by either genes or families. Indeed, the heritability of these traits far overwhelms the effect of home life (barring extreme situations).<br />Justice must be served but emotion can so easily send rational fairness and, ultimately, justice to the trash heap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-84428651486258353032012-06-27T12:20:47.495-04:002012-06-27T12:20:47.495-04:00Well, I found my copy of an editorial concerning t...Well, I found my copy of an editorial concerning the economic and political basis of, among other entities, the Mondale Act of 1974: the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.

The falsely-accused is likely to lose his or her job, and to spend personal or familial resources for lawyers and such. And, after such an ordeal, prospective employers are reluctant to hire such an individual because most employers don't want controversy, or even the appearance of it. Or, the falsely-accused experience age discrimination in trying to find a new job.<br /><br />This really is the new McCarthyism. Worse, it has lasted much longer than McCarthyism itself ever did: We can date the situation you describe at least to the Kelly Michaels case a quarter-century ago.<br /><br />As I have mentioned in other comments, I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and fended off an attempted sexual attack as an adult. So I know how serious those crimes are, and that is the reason why I want their perpetrators--and no one else--to be punished for them.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-63095433285351551502012-06-26T13:10:20.322-04:002012-06-26T13:10:20.322-04:00Bill, This is an outstanding article that truly de...Bill, This is an outstanding article that truly describes where we find ourselves today.
