    • @cereliaadduci9438
      @cereliaadduci9438 10 месяцев назад +87

      I did some research
      1, the 30 years prison sentence was for arson, insurance fraud, desecration of a cemetery and was given an additional 20 years for violating his probation. This means that the initial sentencing for violating a 7 year old was probation, only probation, if he had just violated his probation by missing a meeting, he would have only gone to jail for the 30 days immediately, the judge added 20 years because of the lengths he went to to avoid the 30 day sentence. The initial sentence was still only 30 days if he violated his probation. It was never 20 years for violating a child.
      2 a suspended sentence means he was found guilty but was given a delayed prison sentence and put on probation and the judge will generally dismiss the case and not force the accused to serve the prison sentence if the comply with the probation, which makes this 10 times worse in my opinion.
      3 I believe pedophiles deserve the death penalty and the fact that he was initially given a suspended sentence makes my blood boil. Probation for ruining a child’s life and robbing them of their innocence, but 30 years for faking his own death and insurance fraud in which no one actually got hurt 😤 that’s not justice and you can’t change my mind.

    They call him goose in prison.
    Loves Harley’s, loves tattoos, and his a Luciferian in prison.
    I knew he had a sex related charge because he was known to be a sex offender but never did I imagine the whole story. Needless to say , almost everyone in there is guilty of severe crimes, but to know I played chess , talked to on a daily basis , and even worked out with him at the rec yard , would molest a 7 year old girl and dig someone up out of a grave and set them on fire, it’s unbelievable.

It thinks that hurting children isnt as bad as ripping off an insurance company. And the reason why it thinks that is because america is ran by corporations. Title 28 section 3002 part 15a states america means federal corporation. Everything you think is true is in fact a lie. And I mean everything. The government isnt capable of telling the truth it would expose them as the criminals they truly are. Wake up people

The why is because that is not what happened. the alleged child assault was 8 years previous (when Clay was 16) and they had zero evidence. Nothing is wrong with the justice system on this one IF you know the facts. Also the almost life-sentence was due to the revocation of the suspended sentence on the sexual assault plea. He was never convicted of sexual assault. They had no evidence so they pressured him into taking a plea deal.
