30. His attorney sounds like a real piece of work, too

Rambold's attorney, Jay Lansing, argued Monday for the suspended sentence. He said Rambold lost his career, his marriage and his home and has suffered a "scarlet letter of the Internet" as a result of publicity about the case.
...
Rambold's criminal history includes only a traffic violation, but now he will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, the attorney said.

Lansing asked the judge to "consider how he's been punished to this point."


Yeah, losing everything and having to register as a sex offender does seem overly harsh---wait, no, it doesn't, BECAUSE HE RAPED A 14-YEAR-OLD.
