Did the Florida State's Attorney's office make the right judgement call when they allowed a rapist who was a police officer to take a plea bargin deal? Maybe they didn't feel the victims would be able to go through with a trial and discuss what happened to them on a witness stand in front of a jury। And yet, had the case gone to trial Ragusa would have received life in prison। He'll be out when he is forty-two, and have the ability to live a good portion of his life as a free man। But, for rape victims, it is not so cut and dry। They will forever live with the trauma and fear of what was done to them for the remainder of their lives. They already have and will live the "crime victims prison", a place where the mind replays the criminal act in ways none of us can imagine. http://www.local10.com/news/15292315/detail.html -----------------------------
