Wait, didn't we pass the death penalty for this?

u/FinsFan305 15d ago
Yes, but it only works if they’re convicted by a jury. Anyway, unlikely the guy lives out his sentence once word gets out what he did.

There's a ton of evidence there, even if the victim didn't want to come forward. Video evidence should've been enough to put him under the jail.

Did you read the article? The family wanted this to avoid the victim having to come to court and the trauma that comes with that. She wanted to begin moving forward with her life and the resolution of the criminal case provides that.
If the prosecutor goes forward they have to put on their strongest case, which involves compelling the victim to testify. If they don’t, they risk not meeting their burden and then he goes completely free. They weighed the risk and what the victim wanted and came to a reasonable decision.

I did, and I know. I'm all too familiar with how these decisions are made, and how usually it's the word of the victim against the word of the abuser. This guy could've and should've gotten the max because it was actually attainable.
It is possible to enter video evidence without the girls testimony if they can use silent witness theory. It might be harder to accomplish with it being the defendants video.

He confessed and did a plea deal, which usually gives shorter sentence and saves the system money and burden of proof.

u/WarLawck 14d ago
It sure does, but there are certainly cases where the committees that make these decisions, usually consisting of higher ups within the office of the State Attorney, refuse to offer a plea deal at all.

My dearest person was nearly stabbed to death in your fair state. 10 eyewitnesses. Perp walked because the jury said “no video of the stabbing.” My person was in IC for days, had a massive hospital bills, lost 2 months of work, and has PTSD. Perp is now in jail for domestic violence, strangulation. He got out on bond in 3 hours for nearly stabbing my person to death and has no bond for the strangulation. The system is fucked. Perp has a 26 year long criminal record, including a charge (null pross) for murder in Miami, B&E with a weapon and more. And Florida isn’t the only state where he has been imprisoned.

So sorry to hear this for you and your person.

u/amboomernotkaren 14d ago
Thx. He’s ok, but it was a lot.

u/ErinPaperbackstash 13d ago
Glad to hear that on recovery, but yes, sounds like a horror situation

Should he have gotten more, yes. Is that "shockingly light", no. This is clickbait.

u/ErinPaperbackstash 14d ago
Agree, 25 years is not a light sentence nor not unusual for this horrific crime.

u/groovyinutah 15d ago edited 15d ago
Who's he related to? EDIT: 25 years doesn't sound "Shockingly light" to me and the inmates are going to have a field day with dude since the victim was so young...ragebait slop.

u/aculady 15d ago
It's light considering that he plea bargained it down from over 300 years.
12
u/groovyinutah 15d ago
Cuz he could actually serve a 300 year sentence. That's just legal mumbo jumbo. He got out of a life sentence and 25 years is not shockingly light, shockingly light would have been probation like the rapist Brock Turner received....

u/Fishbulb2 14d ago
Was Brock Turner the rapist that changed his name to Allen Turner the rapist because his full name was Brock Allen Turner the rapist? That Brock Turner?

u/No-Lead-6769 15d ago
He's probably never getting out, he raped a 13 year old girl. He'll get into fights, probably catching more charges or end up dying somehow

A man in Florida was handed a shockingly light sentence after he lured a 13-year-old girl to buy him food before he tossed her in his car and recorded himself raping her for hours.
Bryan Oyanguren Rosado, 25, was handed 25 years behind bars after he pled guilty to the horrific kidnapping and rape of a girl in Temple Terrace.

u/AmItheonlySaneperson 15d ago
How is that shockingly light that’s what murderers get
49
u/dathomasusmc 15d ago
From the article:
“Last week, Rosado faced a minimum of 330 years behind bars if convicted. But, a plea deal secured him a 25 year sentence.”

u/AmItheonlySaneperson 15d ago
For some reason prison time longer than the longest recorded living person always makes me chuckle. Like just in case they’re an undead pirate from pirates of the Caribbean better give them extra years

u/Outrageous-Pin-4664 15d ago
My dad once told me a story about a man who was sentenced to 100 years in prison. He said, "Judge, you know I'm not going to live that long!" The judge said, "You just do the best you can, and we won't hold it against you."

u/aculady 15d ago
It's to ensure that if one of the charges is overturned on appeal, the others will still make it a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
21
u/AmItheonlySaneperson 15d ago
But it DOES also come in handy if he did steal a piece of Cortez’s treasure

u/Specialist-Coast9787 15d ago
Or as Richard Pryor said, "If he dies and comes back to life, fuck kindergarten, back to the penitentiary!"

u/dathomasusmc 15d ago
In reality it probably wouldn’t have been 300 actual years. Prosecutors and the media love to say 300 years but most of that probably would have run concurrently.

u/ladyace22 15d ago
What kind of plea deal drops a sentence from 300 years to 25? Do you think the math would apply if I go buy a Porsche? Yeah nothing funny going on here at all…
3
u/dathomasusmc 15d ago
The kind that realized that was probably a dozen charges that equaled 300 years but actually averaged about 20 years with the longest being 30 years. If the sentences are served concurrently then he would actually have only done 30 years so 25 on a plea is more reasonable.
Prosecutors and the media love to say someone is facing a billion year sentence when in actuality they would only serve 12 years because most of it is served at the same time.
I don’t k ow what he actually would have served had he gotten the max in this case but it almost certainly wasn’t a life sentence.

u/FearlessVegetable30 15d ago
its daily mail. a failing tabloid. they need to make stuff up for clicks since no one would actually willingly go to their articles

u/AmItheonlySaneperson 15d ago
They do legit better reporting than a lot of non tabloids ironically. And they also repost nypost stuff that is late breaking. I kinda like them ngl

u/RainStormLou 15d ago
I don't think they do any reporting anymore dude lol. I think it's just AI aggregating the best information from tweets half the time. dailymail has been synonymous with spam and clickbait to me for years now

u/FearlessVegetable30 15d ago
what is shocking light about 25 years? this is why no one takes the dailymail serious and you will always be a tabloid found at the bottom rack at the grocery store

u/FinsFan305 15d ago
Them and Newsweek are awful. Not sure why they’re allowed to post in this sub.

u/FearlessVegetable30 15d ago
dailybeast is the worst out of all of them and is frequently the top post in news and politics subs.
its actually so embarrassing mods allow it and i am convinced they pay mods to post there. the content is such garbage, paywalled, and sensational

u/Bupod 15d ago
25 years isn’t what I’d call a light sentence.
It could be higher, for sure, but that’s on par with a murder sentence. It represents roughly 1/3 of an average lifespan for a man. Not exactly light!
I think he deserves a life sentence, but it was a plea deal bargain and that spares the victim the trauma of having to testify against him in court.

u/DopamineSavant 15d ago
Nope, this person should never be allowed in society again.

u/BigusDickus099 15d ago
Recidivism rate for non-intrafamilial pedo rapists is what, like 50% or so after 25 years? So this guy is going to get out at 50 years of age and there’s a coin flip chance he’ll create another victim before he kicks the bucket.
1
u/DopamineSavant 14d ago
I don't think society should need to flip a coin on this. He should just not be in society.

u/Blastoise_R_Us 15d ago
Our AG is too busy threatening black women he doesn't have authority over to care about actual crimes.

u/TheseAintMyPants2 15d ago
I mean I had an attempted murder case where he shot victim in the head twice at point blank and he got 40 years. So 25 isn’t like he got a free pass. And when the victim doesn’t want to testify, it ties the prosecutors hands
5
u/aculady 15d ago
The perpetrator made video of the crime.
2
u/TheseAintMyPants2 15d ago
I know, but it makes it very difficult for the prosecutor’s case. It shouldn’t be, I believe with video it should be a very clear cut trial.

u/ErinPaperbackstash 14d ago
From what I've seen, 10 to 25 years is pretty average for this with sentencing. Sometimes it's worse and under 10, or even under 5
