Man must display victim's picture in his home.

BARTOW, Fla. - A judge has ordered a man who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide to display a large picture of the victim in his home after serving two years in prison.


Circuit Judge Robert Doyel said Friday that the picture must be at least 2 feet wide and displayed prominently. It also must include lettering that says: 'I'm sorry I killed you.'

Arthur Pierce, 31, was racing with his cousin on a busy street when they caused an accident that killed 17-year-old Chelsi Gregory, authorities said. Witnesses told police Pierce was swerving in traffic at about 120 mph when his Cadillac collided with a pickup in which Gregory was a passenger.

A prosecutor also said alcohol was a factor in the crash. Pierce's cousin, Christopher Pierce, is set to be sentenced April 5.

An advocate for Mothers Against Drunk Driving requested the photograph be part of Pierce's sentence, according to The Ledger of Lakeland newspaper.

The judge said that Pierce's probation officer will be allowed to search his home at any time, and if the photograph is not displayed, it will be considered a probation violation.

Not bad. Maybe if we had more judges doing stuff like this instead of sending them rank and file out the door on technicalities things might improve.
 
Soon, the ACLU or a similar group will come along & put an end to this charade. Don't they know this guy has suffered enough? He did jail time after all. That was possibly in violation of the 4th, 7, 8th & 9th amendments.

Come now, when is it enough? Let him go on with hs life.



in case you can't tell, yes, that is sarcasm
 
I hope they don't try the idea with osama bin laden if he is ever caught!

(Great wall of china? - that may be long enough ... but it'd be a spacious cell, for sure.)
 
Story doesn't say, but I'm assuming it's for the entire length of his probation. Once he's off probation, the probation officer wouldn't have any rights to search the home at any time.
 
Film pedophiles being shot twice (once in the crotch - wait 1 hour second shot to the stomach) - sell the rights and use the money to pay for the kid(s) recovery/treatment.
 
works for me...although, a butterknife, sawing through the crotch, works even better.
 
They manage to do it with Survivor, American Idol, Dancing With Semi-Famous People, and all that other horsecrap. They'll manage.
