Quote :

"In 2001, a then 11-year-old Cassandra Ann Kennedy accused her dad of rape. Her father, Thomas Edward Kennedy denied the allegations, but was still found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in jail. Nine years later, Cassandra admitted that she lied about the rape. And just last week, her dad was finally released from prison, after serving a wrongful 9-year sentence. “I did a horrible thing,” Cassandra told the police. “It’s not OK to sit and be locked in this horrible place for something you didn’t do. It’s just not right.” “I just want him to be out and freed,” she added. “I will be free on the inside.” Cassandra confessed that she was angry after her parent’s divorce and was determined to set her father up, after learning of a friend’s stepdad who went to prison for a sex crime. “I wanted him to love me, and I didn’t think he did at that time.” She explained her inflated anger at her father, “He wasn’t showing up. I wanted him away so he would stop hurting me. I took my own vengeance.” While her dad was not perfect, Cassandra herself had a troubled childhood. A few months before accusing her father of incest, she was expelled from school for threatening to bring a gun and “shooting everyone.” Soon, in her pre-teens, she began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. When she approached investigators in 2001, Cassandra recounted the abuse and rape incidents in incredible and consistent detail, using stuffed animals to illustrate what her father had allegedly done to her. She later admitted that she used details from movies and observations to explain the sexual encounters. She had also engaged in sexual activity since she was in the second-grade. After hearing the accusations, Thomas Kennedy denied any wrongdoing. Nonetheless, a jury found him guilty and he was then sentenced to 15 years in jail. Cassandra explained that, as a child, she was unaware of the full ramifications of her lies, “I just thought he would go away, you know, go to jail for a little bit, be out of my life.” After Cassandra’s recent confession, County Prosecutor Sue Baur immediately sent a letter to the Superior Court Judge Stephen Warning. “I need to inform you that I have been made aware of new, credible material evidence that potentially creates a reasonable likelihood that Mr. Kennedy is innocent of those crimes,” she wrote. Last Monday, Thomas Kennedy was released from prison and all charges against him have been dropped. “This is something my whole office is talking about,” Baur said. “This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t happen.” However, Baur also confirms that Cassandra will not be charged for lying under oath, partly because prosecutors don’t want to discourage other people (in similar circumstances) from confessing. Cassandra is currently residing in Mountain Ministries, a Christian addiction treatment center."

encouraging rape isnt going to get us anywhere Str8

8/15/2012 3:48:04 PM

So... to be fair... she should be locked up for 9 years.

Is she going to get any prison time at all for lying under oath?

8/15/2012 3:49:04 PM

they should lock her sorry ass up for 9 fucking years

8/15/2012 3:49:39 PM

its the worst kinda rape joke you can possibly tell

8/15/2012 3:51:19 PM

That was probably 9 hard years in prison after being convicted of raping his daughter.

8/15/2012 3:51:29 PM

Oh fuck... what if she's lying about lying to get her dad out of prison.

8/15/2012 3:51:39 PM

lol he probably walked outta that bitch lookin like momma.

8/15/2012 3:52:26 PM

They should let her dad rape her.

8/15/2012 3:52:39 PM

She is in a Christian addiction center, probably got religious and realized she is a horrible piece of humanity.

i would like to watch her dad rape her

she deserves it.

in fact her supervising specialist should rape her, tenderly so as not to offend.

8/15/2012 3:56:21 PM

what if she has AIDS... ?!?!?!

8/15/2012 3:56:53 PM

Yeah, homeboy got it thw hard way in prison. 9 years of getting dick to ass, an.d fist to face

8/15/2012 4:01:00 PM

So, a decade of your life has been stolen and the rest of your life has been altered/ruined. Sorry bout that. You're free to go.

THAT'S IT!?!?!

She won't be charged for lying under oath, partly because prosecutors don’t want to discourage other people (in similar circumstances) from confessing?

YEAH? What about discouraging other sick fucks in the future from ruining peoples lives by telling shitty little lies?

Fuck this shit i'm out

They should throw the bloody book at her and charge her to the fullest extent of the law. People who lie about rape permanently mess up people's lives even if they are not convicted. If someone is found to be lying about rape they should be get the same punishment as a convicted rapist. By letting her off without punishment, they are encouraging this kind of behavior.

8/15/2012 4:03:29 PM

I bet the state will throw him a few hundred thoudand in restitution.... As if that $ is going to help you forget 9 years of having to suck dicks, and 9 years of having to give up your applesauce at lunch.

This bitch needs to be locked up not out of punishment, but to protect the rest of society.

8/15/2012 4:08:29 PM

1. She should be locked up.
2. What evidence was he charged and convicted under?

8/15/2012 4:18:36 PM

As the father, how do you live any kind of normal life, trust anyone? Surely, nine years in prison changes your entire mindset and demeanor.

It should be legal to kill someone who lies in court and gets you convicted of a crime. Like not automatic, but just a standing rule that for the rest of your life you can kill them and be immune from prosecution or any legal penalty.

If he rapes her, it's double jeopardy right? He'd probably get the AIDS though, if he didn't get it from all those prison ass poundings already

8/15/2012 5:06:54 PM

Any person who gets wrongfully convicted of anything should get 1.5 times their previous income (+inflation) or minimum wage (whichever is greater) paid out for every day they were in jail/prison upon release.

No one can give you back all the time you lost outside of work during that time, but the least they can give you back the lost income.

8/15/2012 5:15:33 PM

There is a provision for the wrongfully convicted. I think Greg Taylor got $500,000 (which isn't a whole lot for 17 years of prison). I can't remember how the amount is calculated.

And part of the reason they won't charge is that she was 11 when she did it, and there's probably a statute of limitations on perjury (don't know what it is though).

[Edited on August 15, 2012 at 5:40 PM. Reason : nonetheless, this is one reason why I don't trust convictions.]

8/15/2012 5:39:49 PM

This is why I rarely believe any woman that says she was raped.

Yea, a buddy of mine just went through 6 months of horseshit because some dumb bitch claimed he raped her.

So blow me, pizzaboy.

8/15/2012 7:18:08 PM

I have a friend who blah blah blah that didn't happen to me so I'm biased.

8/15/2012 7:19:47 PM

If it were to ever happen, I'm sure I would be slightly upset.

8/15/2012 7:21:42 PM

death to her. torture is the only fair solution

8/15/2012 7:37:25 PM

Wow... that is the lowest shit ever.

That comes out to $565/wk. Still to low. What makes his case worse is an SBI employee was the one that lied.

I want to revise my formula, they should have to pay you hourly for being in prison, and pay overtime. So 168 Hours a week, but 128 of it time and a half.

8/15/2012 8:07:45 PM

8/15/2012 8:15:39 PM

i find it hard to believe that he didn't abuse her in some way given sexual activity at the age of 7 or 8 and getting expelled from school at age 11.

8/16/2012 4:24:22 AM

Yeah, I doubt this was a happy little family to begin with...Sucks for the father in a serious way- Why will she not receive any consequences? Doesn't the prosecutor want to discourage little girls from lying about their father raping them?

8/16/2012 6:54:56 AM

What a waste of humanity.
She needs to be destroyed.

8/16/2012 7:02:54 AM

What if all 48 Sandusky victims are lying too?

8/16/2012 9:03:22 AM

^^^^what? You mean in the state of todays society, social media and entertainment in particular, you're more inclined to believe daddy caused her to become sexually active...even though there's no evidence that happened?

If that's the case there's a lotta domestic molestation goin on with all these fast ass little girls runnin around

He may not have been a very good or effective parent, but labeling him sexually or physically abusive is jumping the tracks big time
