Ive done business with Jon in the past. Very good guy honest and you always get what you pay for. Can anybody say abusing authority? These people need to go after the source not people unwittingly downloading the stuff. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Nothings been proven in my estimation only assumed. 5 years of wasted life is all its going to amount to. May everyone pointing fingers turn em back on themselves.

I hate to say it but the next is cast too wide sometimes. People that really havent done anything keep getting swept up into it to catch the big fish. If he’s really innocent i feel for him.

In answer to SW’s comment (fourth one down), anyone who doesn’t know Jonathan may have trouble understanding the difference in the tone of the comments on these three cases, not that I am judging the guilt or innocence of the others by saying that. However, anyone who REALLY knows Jon, his personality, his values and his character, will not have any problem realizing why he has so many good and loyal supporters who believe in him.

American Has Become A Land Of Woeful Injustice…
Today’s court has it’s limitations, judges now have limitations and guidelines to follow without looking at the “real” person involved, in this case the person being Jonathan Jantz. They begin to create a monster, an example. Who in this country & community is going to stand up for Jon and help his wife, his family and friends and tell this court that Jon was never a “monster” and WILL never be a “monster.” This has already been proven over and over, anybody that knows Jon knows his character. All his evaluations came back “perfect” Limewire is of the devil and did devilish things to his computer. Jon is in court under a very unlawful unethical charge. Come on people this was like 5 years ago. He was not involved in illegal “stuff.” This is a case that makes NO SENSE what so ever. You just take a very honest law abiding citizen off the streets and make him a criminal, and put him away for 5 years….. Something is seriously WRONG here. He has a lovely wife that needs her husband at home, very honest upright families and friends that need him. I have known Jonathan for most of his life and would testify in his behalf. This man is NOT what the court says he is. We need a miracle here. We need EVERYONE to pray for a miracle. God knows everything and can do wonderful things if we call on his name. It seems if this community truly CARES and wants to HELP they need to PRAY and maybe contact Jon, his family to see what all can be done to help this unjust case. It is NEVER to late….Are you willing ? ? ? ?

Here is just one example where someone downloaded music with limewire and got child pornography instead. Copy and paste this link into your browser to read the article. This is a growing problem and the wrong people are getting punished.

REGARDING:
“C’mon folks, be consistent.”

Is it the same people castigating and defending the assorted people? Some always defend but don’t defend all. Some always condemn but don’t condemn all.

And then there’s the “the worst sins are those of which I am not guilty” idea. In some places people can imagine people semi-innocently getting into a problem with the law because they’ve been close a time or two themselves but haven’t done the other things which would get them in trouble because they understand THOSE things are bad.

Some seem to have downloaded things they didn’t intend and can imagine others doing the same, to have dated people who misrepresented themselves and can imagine people doing the same, may have thrown out dogs and can imagine people doing the same.

Me not know, but can imagine that may be the case.

I don’t understand.

This guy pleads guilty to possession of child pornography on his computer after the judge didn’t throw out the evidence against him. His defense was while he was downloading regular pornography the child pornography got put on his computer by mistake.

Many come to his defense.

A volunteer fireman is accused of inappropriate things with an underage girl and gets crucified by bloggers.

A former radio personality gets convicted of child sex and gets mangled with opinions against him.

C’mon folks, be consistent.

REGARDING:
“The biggest problem I have is with the “mandatory minimum.” Congress has taken away the Judge’s ability to judge in these cases”

Some years back Congress studied the sentencing of people convicted of crimes. They noticed that with the exact same set of circumstances one judge would give a warning and another judge would give life in prison.

That struck them as unfair as well as hinting at prejudice and/or bribe taking. (It struck me as an incentive to avoid the danger of getting a Hanging Judge by staying out of trouble in the first place. But that‘s just me.) Thus, they decided to set up guide lines suggesting minimum and maximum sentences for assorted crimes with weight to mitigating and extenuating circumstances. They could go outside the guidelines but had to explain why. Judges are good at talking, so that shouldn’t have been a problem other than the blow to their professional pride.

Some judges were unhappy with the decision of Congress, some because it stepped on their co-equal status as one of the three branches of government, some because it cut down on their money making opportunities.

Still, Congress has its pride too and they are empowered to make laws and set punishments for violations. (Plus it gives them a chance to get bribes from lobbyists wanting the laws to go their way.)
