Alabama Forced To Release Thousands Of Sex Offenders After Inmates Deny Charges

[populistdriven]

MONTGOMERY, AL—Saying that the state had no choice but to take them at their word, Alabama officials on Tuesday announced that thousands of sex offenders would be released after the inmates firmly denied the charges. “If they said they didn’t do it, then what choice do we have but to let them go?” said Alabama Department of Corrections administrator Clay Buxton, adding that penitentiaries statewide would be interviewing prisoners and releasing them immediately upon receiving their sworn declaration of innocence. “We sometimes ask these individuals not just once but multiple times if they’re guilty of sex crimes, and when they say no, often very emphatically, our hands are pretty much tied.” Buxton emphasized, however, that any inmates who admitted that they did commit a sex crime will remain behind bars and continue to carry out their sentences as originally handed down.

1. Why does it have to be a SWORN declaration of innocence? Seems so harsh, so arbitrary, so cruel...

when we have a lot of fine Christian Republicans in high office and running for high office that have not SWORN to anything regarding their sexual assaults. Seems so harsh and unnecessary. Strike out "sworn", and add, "and as long as they have unequivocally and publicly accused their accusers of lying, and accused the media reporting on such as 'fake news' and 'dying', as in 'the dying NY Times' "
