Ritter convicted
We’ve been following the Scott Ritter, perv, case since the beginning.
So after being caught no less than three times in the last decade, prosecutors finally got a conviction on child predator Scott Ritter, also a former UN weapons inspector. Ritter’s charges that he was being targeted by the Bush Administration for retribution didn’t work this time;
Jurors in Monroe County convicted Scott Ritter, 49, on six of seven counts. He was acquitted on a criminal attempt charge. Ritter had no reaction as the verdict was announced Thursday. His twin 18-year-old daughters sobbed.
Ritter’s lawyer claimed that the Pennsylvania jury was probably “troubled and offended” by the video of Ritter beating his soldier. Who wouldn’t be?
Sentencing will be next month. Each of the five felony counts carries a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison, but Ritter is likely to get much less under sentencing guidelines.
35 years seems about right.

Unfortunately, he’ll only be looking at maybe a couple of years. At least he got caught before there were REAL underage victims.
He’s a deviant that will lie and rationalize until he’s actually caught in the act with a child. And even then, he’ll blame the child for seducing him.
A bullet to the back of the head would solve this problem.

In the interim, he’ll have plenty of alone time to spend loping his mule.
He has long been on my list of EX Marines. Good to see he is now a convicted fellon. Hopefully, the sentence will be fitting of the crime (I think Pinto Nag had a great idea)
Guess he’ll be finding some WAD’s–Weapons of ASS Destruction.
Other felons don’t like child molesters….
WTF is the mother of his daughters, and why were his daughters allowed in a courtroom where there was discussion of his masturbation?????
Sweet fuck-all.
ROS: They were in there for their own protection. Now they truly know who their “daddy” is. I love it! All too often the family blindly supports the miscreant in the bloodline. What in hell does a married father do this for? Sick bastard.
Whether it’s 35 years or 3.5 days, Ritter’s got a lifetime as a registered sex offender, with all the amenities that go with it.
Maybe he should grow dreds, and go for the Mumia cult.
It did say his daughters are 18. Adults in the eyes of the law.
I wonder how much this story would be splashed across the headlines if it were Joe the Plumber? Or a conservative blogger?
#11 AP,
Beyond “Plumber” jokes, likely we’d see it splashed all over the usual dextrosphere sites.
Their mother, his wife, was in the courtroom with them. I don’t care how old my kids are, they damn sure wouldn’t be sitting in a courtroom listening to people talk about their father’s webcam escapades.
A lesson we can learn from our neighbors up north;
