in Homosassa, Florida, Jessica lundsford was raped and buried alive in two plastic garbage bags with her hands tied with speaker wire.
In Vermont Judge Cashman gave a sex offender who along with his buddy repeatedly raped a small girl now 10 almost daily over a 4 year period to only 60 days in prison.

This is not the same as Megans law nor the Adam Walsh law.
Jessica`s law is a moddel that forces legislatures to mandate stiff minimum sentences for child rapists, who had all too often been slapped on the wrist by lenient judges. It also revises sexual predator criteria; requires twice yearly reregistration by sexual predators; provides criminal offenses for failing to reregister, failing to respond to address verification, failing to report or providing false information about sexual predator, & harboring or concealing sexual predator; requires electronic monitoring for certain offenders placed on conditional release supervision. All of which were violated and resulted in the horrible death of 9 year old Jessica Lundsford.

I live in Utah and we support the law. I think any sicko's that have to pray on little kids and rape children need to have something chopped off. Either hands or other parts. But that's my opinion. and I am sticking to it.

All this law does is provide a false sense that something is "being done"
Mandatory minimums in sentencing do not help society... Determining appropriate punishment and duration of prison terms is something for Judges to do, not for the District Attorney's office to decide by filing charges that carry specific mandated prison terms and other punishment.
.
Minimum sentencing requirements can backfire and lead to juries finding "Not Guilty" in cases where a "Guilty " verdict would be right just because the accused is young, or likeable or the jury for some reason does not want to see that person sentenced to life.
Let the DA file charges
Let the Jury determine Guilt or Innocence
and
Let Judges decide sentencing.
Please take our criminal justice system out of the hands of politicians.

First of all i would like to say that my heart goes out to all children who have been through anything like that. I compleatly support this law anynoe who can do that to a child should be locked up pfor life but this is the second best thing to that. the GPS monitoring is good but there are ways around everything who is to say that some super smart computer genuis doesn't come around and screw up this whole safety net people beleive they have by helping these sex offenders get aroud this law then what? i think we shoul lock them up for LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE!!!

In California we call that Megans Law, im not sure if its the same thing...Actually, I think Megans Las is more of a way to tell parents that there are sex offenders in their area.

I have never understood why castration hasn't been an option, for repeat offenders. I think that would put an end to their desires.
I am a big supporter of Jessica's Law!
