“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” – Samuel Adams

Missouri ‘Judge’ Lets Admitted Child Molester off with Probation

2009-10-01 06.09.55From Fox News comes a story on another worthless judge.  Granted, not all judges are this kind of despicable scum, but far too many are, and they are the reason the word “justice” is becoming a mockery of the actual concept in America.

Jarred Elwood in Missouri plead guilty to molesting a girl for 8 years beginning when she was only 6 years old. Elwood plead guilty to charges of first-degree statutory sodomy, child molestation, and enticement of a child.

“Judge” John Torrence (I put quotes around the word “judge” because the title deserves more respect than this man’s name can bring to it) let the molester off with probation only.

Notice in the attempted interview below, this creep won’t even bother to try and explain his reprehensible actions.

This is the kind of trash we have passing itself of as a “judge” in this country these days.

In too many cases, you could randomly poke your finger at a name in the phone book and be more likely to come up with someone with a better moral compass than a lot of these evil-excusing “judges.”

It’s no wonder there is little respect for the law among the general population when “judges” like Torrence show such contempt for the law…and for the innocent victims the law is designed to help.

Real justice means someone who has committed a wrong is not only determined by the evidence to be guilty of the wrong, but is properly punished for the wrong.  Proper punishment for a wrong is a punishment commensurate with the damage done by the wrong.

This piece of trash Jarred Elwood has maliciously attacked a young girl and used her as a personal device of sexual pleasure…and in doing so, he has undoubtedly (without a miracle from God) irrevocably damaged this girl’s well being for the rest of her life. In my law enforcement background, I have seen enough victims of child molestation to know this is almost certainly her fate.

Unfortunately, after Elwood was caught and convicted of this reprehensible crime, “Judge” Torrence adds insult to injury by telling the little girl and her family that what Elwood did to her was no big deal.

I honestly can’t determine which is the more despicable: the perpetrator or the judge.

Trash like this should be impeached and removed from the bench immediately.

    I am just shocked, mad, speachless almost. I know from living it. This girl is going to have a long road ahead of her. This is something that never leaves your thoughts completely. I am trying to process what this “JUDGE” has done. I cannot wrap my mind around it. But it does leave me with a question of what would motivate a “JUDGE” to NOT sentence the man they way he should. and all I can ask myself is has this man had the same problem maybe or maybe not acting on it but thinking it. Thats the only reason I can think of that would explain this trainwreck of justice. And to tell that litttle girl its no big deal…… well again that puts the question to mind.

    Unbelievable!! People wonder why women that are raped do not call the police or report it. Here is a prim example… Because they are treated as the criminal not the rapist or molester. This is happened to many women who have never came forward and for reason like this one. Someone needs to truly evaluate this judge and his background. You may be suprised at what you find out.

    Sex laws have been built on misconceptions and myth.
    The Supreme Court just ruled on sex offender laws where some factions of our government think by some inert reasoning that sex offender should be quarantined like some virus steaming from Draconian/Islamic radical view that sex offenders should be executed. I have seen for myself, video taken in another country where a sex offender was placed on a pole much like the Catholics use to use a pyramid shaped object and have them sit on it and spin, the pole travels through the body looking for the throat but if not found its ok because the sharpened end of the pole will come out somewhere to the delight of these very strange people who think such sad thoughts. The heritage of the act is in its self a brutal throwback to violent uneducated people who are so obsessed with any sex they can find & the only way to deal with this kind of “hierarchy” of historic hysteria. A word taken from hysterectomy, hysteria is tied to castration used to make animals less threatening which clearly explains the atmosphere we have made for our selves.
    Anyway we are supposed to be the most advanced nation and we still have a death penalty when the rest of the world except for some nations we are still warring with, selling weapons too, {think!} while other nations went home our weapons dealers and torture lovers delighting in support for the death of people they don’t know or want to simply because they don’t know how to get money with out taking it from someone by force. Is that supposed to include mutilations? In my humble opinion that alone are terrorist activities as much as severed hands, ears, heads, or making a case with nothing more than an obsession justified by lies.

    The fact that we still have the death penalty is an illustration that we are indeed the most advanced nation on earth. Only a barbaric, unenlightened nation would refuse to (a) issue a punishment commensurate with the crime committed and (b) acknowledge the infinite value of the human life wrongly stolen from the victim.

    Having got that important correction out of the way, the only reason I published your demented and depraved rambling is that most Americans–having some basic moral compass within them–find it difficult that another human being could excuse or condone evil the way you have.

    It is unpleasant that Americans should have to face the reality that there are evil people out there, and there are evil people who will excuse evil…but face it we must, or we would be incapable of dealing with it firmly as we should.

    This is among the most outrageous thing I have ever have even heard of the judge need to be removed from the bench NOW. If there is any legal recourse, this judge needs to be held in contempt of court and held criminally responsible for this Travesty of justice He is defiantly not fit to hold any public office whatsoever, there is absolutely no excuse for this whatsoever . JUDGE TORRENCE YOU ARE A DISGRACE IN EVERY WAY SHAPE AND FORM. YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT, ANYBODY THAT HAS HEARD THIS AND THAT WILL EVER HEAR ABOUT THIS KNOWS IT, WITHOUT A SINGLE DOUBT

  • wonderer1231

    um if im not mistaken the girls family asked for the judge to not give prison time

  • http://www.dakotavoice.com Bob Ellis

    Um, even if that were true, victims and their families do not determine right and wrong or sentences. That is why we are a nation of laws, not of men.
