36. You May Disagree All You Want, Sir, But That Will Not Alter The Facts Of Turley's Behavior
Your critique of the analogy contains the fatal flaw of your analysis: you say your child made an error while the other committed a crime. The weight of the things are so unequal as to bear no sensible comparison: error is not crime, else there would not be two separate words for the different things. The most serious item should be the focus of outrage and comment, not the lesser item. Persons who reverse the order are up to no good.

Regarding your other point, only a single standard can be employed if justice is to be done. In this matter, that standard is criminal liability. Nothing else concerns me in this matter.
