Yep, that’s some serious shade being thrown.
And now Jinger’s statement: She, too was a victim of Josh’s.
The jury decides on the evidence as presented, it is not their job to throw out evidence that the judge has allowed. So they can respect the jury’s verdict, while not respecting the judge’s ruling that allowed evidence that (they say) should not have been allowed.
“So even though we know he’s a sexual predator, we’ll do everything we can to make sure he’s free to offend again.”
I’m really not clear whose view you are personifying, the family? the jury?
The family.
It’s all a matter of perspective:
“So even though we know he’s a sexual predator, we’ll do everything we can to make sure that he is afforded the due process he is entitled to under our legal system.”
Jenna Duggar now charged with endangering a minor (unrelated case).
I guess with that many kids it was hard for Jim Bob to keep them all from being dirtbags.
Oh man, that DuggarsSnark subreddit is a gold mine:
Love Betty Bowers!
That still only makes sense to me if you think the outcome may have been improper. There’s not much use in pouring your limited resources (time, money, etc.) into something if the conclusion is expected to be the same.
Sure, Duggar has a right to appeal. I don’t begrudge him using it. But, given that a sexual predator, I’m not going to put any effort into anything that might in any way make it easier for him to prey on children again. And if someone agrees with me that he’s a sexual predator, I’m going to look askance at them not having that view.
Nor do I. And, like you, I think he’s guilty and any appeal will not change that view. He deserves the consequence of his actions, but I am certainly not going to be bothered that he’s seeking to confirm that he received his due process and that his rights were honored.
They also sent something like $19,000 to The Children’s Safety Center of Washington County.
Reddit takes a lot of shit but some of those communities are doing some amazing work, like the Gamestop subs raising a quarter of a million dollars for Dian Fossey’s gorilla foundation and the same group now raising a shit ton for Toys For Tots. Internet activism is taking off in a big way.
It’s a misdemeanor and must not be very serious. Whatever it was is apparently sealed by the case settlement.
It’s certainly nothing like Josh’s pedo case.
Good lord, just because it’s a misdemeanor doesn’t mean it’s “not very serious.”
-

So in theory could having kids in the same house as Josh be considered child endangerment?
Rumor has it she fell asleep while watching her siblings and nephews and nieces and one was found wandering.
There is also speculation that she got caught driving with kids not in car seats.
Some old, some new stuff here:
A political setback:
