I love the discrimination in the US legal system.

Man commits murder = 25 years to life or the death penalty; Woman commits murder = 10 to 30 years (depending on how good her attorney is in arguing she was a battered woman / victim of sexual assault at a young age)

Male teacher has sexual relations with a student = automatic 15 to 20 years; Female teacher has sexual relations with a student = oh boys dream of that stuff at that age. Lets slap her hand with 5 years and call it even.

Husband snoops on wife email = 5 years; Wife snoops on husband email = She is just making sure he isn't visiting any content that could hurt the children. Case gets tossed by a judge.

I couldn't be more sarcastic, but the examples I listed above I have seen in reality especially considering murder with all the ludicrous "Oh I was a battered woman...the HORROR!" nonsense and female teachers getting off easy compared to male teachers when they get curious like Curious George.

If the sexes are equal, then the punishment for the crime should be equal. Either that, or every man up for murder should argue he was molested by a Catholic priest. This would put men almost even on the "I'm a battered woman" argument scale for mitigating factors.

You speak the truth sir!

It's the district attorney's job to push the envelope on laws and how they're applied.

Wait...what?!  I can emphatically assure you that it is not, in fact, their job to do this, although I concede that some of them appear to be under that impression (when it suits them).

It's their job to prosecute criminals. Often times, depending on personal politics/attitude, they push things farther than judges will let them (my gf is a law clerk under a judge so I get to hear all about it). If they don't try to get creative with prosecution and how laws are applied, no one will.

Right, hence my concession earlier.  But that's a very far cry from what you originally wrote.  That's all I'm saying.

Sure. I wasn't entirely clear in my first post. My point was that this kind of thing being prosecuted isn't a real surprise. If the judge allows it to go through and get to a jury trial and the guy is convicted of it, THEN I'd be surprised.

The OP's signature cannot compete with how unusual this is, his relationship was in the risk of collapse if he did not check if his wife was cheating on him. And how the hell did anyone find out?!? Oh I see...

Funny how many of you are talking shit about the American legal system. I'll tell you something tho, at least this country believes you're innocent until proven guilty. I'm sure in your country you would be in jail right away till they find evidence that you are not guilty and that's if they find anything that proves your innocence.

The people in this thread who are making fun of our legal system are doing so based on an incomplete viewpoint which assumes that the long shot, worst-case scenario will occur.  So don't let it get to you.
