Decison of Judge Jan Jurden regarding the Du Pont Heir who molested his child.
Will you call for the removal of Judge Jan Jurden from the Bench? In Re Robert H. Rihcards and Judge Jan Jurden DE Supreme Ct.
Letter to the Editor – Bribed? 3/28/14
This is nothing short of outrageous! Wealthy DuPont heir, Robert H. Richards IV gets probation for raping his 3 year old daughter, with this judge saying it was because she feared “he would not fare well in prison”. What?! Is it any wonder that the public is so disgusted with the criminal justice system? This is absurd, so beyond absurd that one has to wonder what is really going on. Seriously, is judge Jan Jurden being bribed? Surely NO judge can simply have “loose screws” to this extent. This merits looking into. Many sex offenders who attract attention in the press are sent to prison, some for decades, and they are placed in “pc”, protective custody. They are in their cell for 23 hours a day, and the other hour they are escorted by 2 guards to a cement cage (called a “yard”) where they can walk around, alone, and then to a shower, where they also are locked in. They never are so close to other inmates that they may be attacked. I was in there, I saw it. Originally charged with 2 counts of rape, carrying a mandatory sentence of 10 years on each charge, and the judge gives probation, citing this absurd “reason”?! She should have sent this guy to prison, everyone knows it, and this case makes a mockery out of what we call “justice.” Rape your 3 year old daughter, and if you’re a wealthy white guy you get probations; steal a candy bar as a young black man and … BAM … 5 to 8 years in jail.
Was Richards “given a break” because of his wealth and connections? Was the judge indeed bribed? We’ll never really know, but the AG’s office should have demanded prison time, and the judge should have imposed it The sentence given him is a tragedy. The subtle, yet profound and pervasive result of such a case is the undermining of respect and trust in the whole court system! People see things like this and just cringe with disgust and disappointment, losing faith and confidence in the institutions which should be protecting them. Protecting this clown’s son and daughter!
