89. DeWine made a few good points

First, that this happens in towns all across America, and that it is too acceptable. He stated 'we need to stop this... make it unacceptable'. He came across as calm and concerned.

Then he announced a grand jury to convene on April 15th - looking for more charges.

This is good. On the down side, I live in this county, moved here 7 years ago. It's corrupt to the gills. I'm wondering how powerful a local grand jury will be?

I thought the sentences were light, but trying them as adults? No. A lot changes and shifts in your life at 18, your social situational awareness as well as continuing brain changes. They were crushed, and they deserved it. I'm guessing that Trent kid does more than the 2 yr minimum.

The football culture in this town, as well as in the country at large, is horrific, it needs to change. There were texts alluding to how the football coach was treating it as a 'joke'. What a fuck.

And the funniest for last: at the press conference outdoors, the victim's priest was there. He stated that he was there for the family, they are good christians, etc. And that we need to teach our young men responsibility towards woman. How bout starting with your misogynist faith, father? That little drumbeat of 'woman belong beneath our heels?'
