Child Molesting Metro Cop Walks With "Only" Probation-Where's The Justice?

THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Equal justice for all? I doubt it. It's obvious that people with money usually buy their way out of being convicted while the poor average Joe gets the book thrown at him or her. It can be seen being played out in most every courtroom in the country everyday.For example, just recently Lohan and Hilton. They continue to gets breaks from these star struck judges who refuse to exact a penalty that would send them to prison.

It's not only the glitzy star or Hollywood crowd. It's politicians and lawmakers too. There is also a double standard when it come to sentencing someone who worked in law enforcement versus John or Jane Doe. For example, here in Las Vegas a former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer, Damian Amalfitano, 35, in April entered an Alford plea for one count of attempted lewdness with a child under the age of 14 years old and possession of child pornography, both "felonies."

The report said Amalfitano was dating the victim's aunt when in April 2007 he molested the 13-year old on "three", not one, not two, but "three" occasions. This pervert was a six-year veteran on the Metropolitan Police Department at the time of his arrest.

Amalfitano originally faced almost 30 felony counts, some with prison terms of ten years to life in prison if convicted. But people, what was his sentence? This douche bag was sentenced to only five years probation. You or I or any average Joe Doe would have had sunlight piped into the cell. We would have gone away for those ten years to life sentences.

What does the prosecutors say? "The decision to negotiate a plea deal was not influenced by Amalfitano's former work as a police officer." Do you believe that? I don't.

The prosecutors and the district attorney's office have to deal with the police department every day and so to get along they go along with scratching each others back. Come on! Felony crimes that merit at least ten years to life and this sleaze comes out of the whole mess with five years of probation. Stink? You bet.

It's Las Vegas people and it appears here in this town the lawmakers don't care if a cop is a child molester or is a trigger happy cop that lacks training who shoots civilians. The results are most always the same The bad cop will skate free through the courts or through a biased skewed and one-sided kangaroo coroners inquest which has failed to find a cop guilty over the past few decades.

So, does the law apply equally to you Mr., Ms.,and Mrs. Main Street? No! There are sentencing laws for us and then there is a special "get out of jail or prison" free card for THEM.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
