24. Were they as devastated and sympathetic as Candy Crowley on CNN?

I think it was DailyKOS that has a link to that too, where Candy and the CNN spokesmodel on location talked about the devastation to the "bright future" both rapists now had to deal with as a consequence of this sentence...Didn't seem to cross either one of these women's minds that it might have been the fact that they RAPED a young woman that had ruined their "bright futures" and not the fact that they had been caught and found guilty...

This whole sickening episode has really laid bare the ugliness that is still right under the surface in today's modern culture...
