She was deprived of her rights as a mother and as a human being. Some wacky judge and a misguided nation somehow decided to step in and break them up. Mary Kay had a very abusive ex-husband who was a total jerk and he was obviously a complete moron. She gave him 4 babies and he treated her like she was garbage. OJ belongs in prison, not Mary Kay LeTourneau.

However, since we are where we are, we could safely say these two folks were very foolish to defy the rules by engaging in criminal behavior. But then, what was done was done, and the hand of justice that came down was heartless and horrible in the ways you articulated very well. We need philosopher kings, and we have Clintons, who not only can't see beyond the culture, but use it in ways where they stay free for behavior comparably bad to what gets Mary Kay locked up.
