Jennifer Rice Says Child Predator Laws Unconstitutional

Jennifer Rice, the disgusting predatory teacher in jail for banging a ten year old boy, says that the sentencing laws that impose stiffer penalties against child predators should be declared unconstitutional. Her public defender is claiming that the law- get this- hampers the ability of the prosecutor to do his job.

Law on ‘predatory’ sex crimes argued in Tacoma teacher case

A former Tacoma elementary school teacher accused of having sex with a student wants a law under which she’s charged declared unconstitutional, claiming in part that it wrongly curtails the powers of the prosecutors pursuing the case against her. In a motion filed by her attorney last month, Jennifer L. Rice asked a judge to dismiss a special allegation that classifies one of the crimes she’s charged with as “predatory.”

That designation – required when a teacher is accused of certain sex crimes – invokes stiff sentencing requirements: a minimum term of 25 years or the high end of the standard sentencing range, whichever is longer. In Rice’s case, that’s the high end: 26 1/2 years.

Public defender Melanie MacDonald argued that the law should be struck down, saying it improperly usurps the discretion of local prosecutors by requiring them to file a certain charge in a certain situation.

Rice, 32, is charged with 13 crimes. Eleven of the charges allege that she sexually abused a 10-year-old boy whom she taught at McKinley Elementary School last year. The remaining charges stem from alleged sexual behavior with a teenager whose relationship to Rice hasn’t been disclosed.

Prosecutors contend in charging documents that Rice – a married mother – pursued a relationship with the 10-year-old that culminated with her taking him from his home last summer and driving him to a highway rest stop outside Ellensburg, Kittitas, County, where they had sex.

I smell a FAIL coming. If Rice’s public defender gets a law imposing extra penalties declared unconstitutional, she should be hired to get all of the hate crimes legislation overturned. And those stupid laws that impose higher fines for speeding through school zones or construction sites? Get those thrown out too.

Harsher penalties were put in place by society to specifically stop certain people from doing bad things- like banging your ten year old student. I hope her ovaries shrivel to white raisins while she is in jail. According to this previous post, even jail doesn’t stop this freckly sexfiend from trying to get some.
