A former Cedarville University finance professor whose writings promote a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality was arrested Tuesday on eight sex-related felony charges involving one or more minors.
The indictment, filed March 27 in Ohio’s Greene County Common Pleas Court, charges John Kent Tarwater with two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery and three counts of gross sexual imposition.
He was booked into Greene County jail in southwest Ohio, where he remained in custody as of Wednesday morning. No defense counsel was listed in public court records, and no hearing or trial dates were disclosed.
That is actually a great point. My comment started from the basis that “we got the right person, and they did what they are accused of”
But you are 100% right. That’s a huuuuge assumption.
What is your viewpoint if that assumption was (for whatever cosmic reason) correct?
Execution. Never castration.
Some could argue that execution is more drastic. Why the first and not the latter?
I am guessing is a matter of cruelty?
I would argue that castration is cruel and unusual punishment and, torture, and as such I am completely against it, if you have that much of a problem with the person you should kill them, but I am against the death penalty because we can’t trust the courts to get the right person. But that is in theory, in the real world outside the courts… but the kicker is regular people cannot be trusted to accurately ascribe a blame either. But there are no Perfect Solutions I suppose. But killing someone is better than making them a shadow of themselves.
