In reply to the discussion: Judge said du Pont heir 'will not fare well' in prison - gives him probation for rape of 3 yr old [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)Delaware is home to over 50 % of publicly traded corporations. The appellate judges are all appointed by the Governors with the expectation they will look after the best interests of the state's corporate "citizens". This DuPont heir rapist is part of the good ole' corporate owners' white boys club, so the judge protected him. Corporations have a proud tradition of economically raping the US (off-shoring,etc.) and this case extends that right to physically rape US citizens, even 3 year olds. Her most recent appointment to the bench lasts until 2025.
This judge was appointed by two Democratic governors. The first was Ruth Ann Miner; the second was Jack Markell.
