Winslow Jr. pleads guilty to rape, sexual battery

Former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to raping an unconscious teen and sexual battery involving a 54-year-old hitchhiker. In exchange for his plea, the court agreed to sentence him to between 12 and 18 years in prison.

Gonna go away for 12 to 18 years.

He's obviously not right in the head and very well could be guilty of a bunch of this but it also seems like some lazy and/or incompetent work by these prosecutors.

If I'm one of the potential victims from the cases they dropped so he'd take this deal then I'm beyond ****ed. If I'm Winslow and actually innocent then I'm beyond ****ed that it was this or possibly life and them proceeding with cases they were so willing to drop.

I just play a lawyer on tv but it seems like wayyyyy too much of our judicial system is just about wrapping cases up and not about actual justice or even proceeding all the way through the system with actual trials.

He must have head the kind of lawyer nobody wants.
 
Tragic fall from the top. I feel for every victim and his family, even though I despise his father, but he can rot.
 
He will die in prison. Chomos are the bottom of the pecking order in prison. Wouldn't surprise me if his brain is not riddled with CTE but I doubt it will be in any shape to study once they are done with him. So much odd behavior out of him.

You have a problem with reducing court cost and administrative cost? Is 12-18 years in prison not ‘actual justice’ to you?

Not a chance. He will just check in if that ends up happening.

Yes, I do. Like I said, it seems like prosecutors/state attorney offices are more concerned with ending cases, not going to trial and chalking up convictions and conviction rates than actual justice.

You find it appropriate that someone can face a range of incarceration from only 12 years or all the way up to life because plea deals are relied on so heavily?

He won't make it out alive. No way. What a sad and disgusting story all the way around.

IF he's guilty of half of this stuff do we really want him alive and on the streets in 12 or 15 years? There's not really "rehabilitation" for this kind of stuff- especially in prison. That's part of my problem with this whole plea deal. He's either innocent and being threatened into accepting it because life is on the table or he's guilty and he'll be out (if he survives prison) and still young enough to be a real threat to society.
 
Was kicked out of the fam long ago in my eyes. Sad for all those around him and his family. At this point he deserves what he gets

If he is mentally ill, he will do 18 years. He will then get involuntarily committed to a secure psych unit to live out his days in a building that functions much like a prison.

How would “actual justice” be served?

Judical system doesn't trust juries any more than the enitre establishment trust voters or big business trust workers.
