CHRISTOPHER BELTER: JUST ANOTHER "AFFLUENZA-DEFENSE" BENEFICIARY.

ICHEOKU says some of these stories sound bellyaching incredible, except that they are true; that some people are so privileged that they apparently get a preferred status accommodation in everything in America including in the justice system. Otherwise how else can anyone, especially one with no dog in the fight, explain the fact that a man who raped four girls, including an underage 15 year old girl, which by itself is a statutory rape, got away with a mere slap on the wrist of a probation and not a prison sentence. 

It is also not as if the facts of the cases were disputed or that the perpetrator did not own up to his heinous activities, he did. Yet a judge decided that the fella is too privileged to be sent to prison. The decision violates every imaginable sensibilities and therefore condemnable as an obvious bias-induced decision. 

ICHEOKU says were Niagara New York in California, Judge Murphy would be definitely facing a serious recall and his unsound decision, also appealed. It does not make any penal sense whatsoever, especially in view of the magnitude of the crimes which the defendant committed  that he got no prison term. He did the crimes and should have done the time. But courtesy of a judge, who has nothing to lose any more because he is retiring and will no longer be facing the public in a reelection, decided to damn the Niagara County public and did what he wanted to do. But can't his pension and other retirement benefits be reached as a punishment for the apparent tainted decision he rendered. Would he have ruled the same way were he still running for reelection and having to explain to voters what informed his decision?

The perp, Christopher Belter, pled guilty to two felony charges including third-degree rape and attempted first-degree sexual abuse, and two additional misdemeanor charges of second-degree sexual abuse, yet he did not get any time for all the offenses. Really? What useless sword of Damocles that will be hanging over the convicted rapist's head for the next eight years that will be sufficient to atone for his crimes? Why do we have prisons built everywhere in America if not for people like Christopher Belter? Why again are people who commit crimes punished and sent away to do time for what they did, if Christopher Belter is not prison bound? Why this selective and very subjective reasoning by this judge, despite the undeniable and undenied crimes of four sexual assaults. Based on what the rapist did, which he has already admitted, if Christopher Belter is not a consummate prison material, who else is?

Therefore Judge Murphy can be "agonized and not ashamed to say that he actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence" all he wants, the fact of the matter is that he did not agonize enough nor prayed enough, otherwise he would have seen what every other right thinking and unbiased person saw in the case, that Christopher Belter committed egregious crimes of sexual nature and should have been punished with a prison sentence and not probation. Yes indeed, he caused great pains to so many people, his four victims, their families and their friends; he also caused grave great harm to them as well and of course, there were multiple crimes and deserves to be in prison. How did the judge, sincerely and honestly, reconcile his decision to these clear facts as presented in this case before him? 

Why, despite the glaring amount of undisputed factual evidence in the case, which the judge himself even acknowledged, did the judge still arrive at his conclusion that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration is not appropriate in the case and that he preferred a sentence of probation, instead? A 15 year old girl was one of the victims rapist Christopher Belter assaulted with the help of his mother and step father inside their family home. Unfit parents who forced alcohol and marijuana on their son's victims to inebriate them and help subdue them, overwhelm their consciousness and override their will of resistance, in order to enable their son have his way with them so much effortlessly. 

So, what else was Niagara Country Court Judge Matthew J. Murphy III looking to see, which he did not see, that made him reach such a distasteful decision. Why was a prison sentence not appropriate in this case when four girls were sexual assaulted by the convicted rapist; and when has a rapist and registered sex offender become too sacred and deemed as not good candidate for prison? Needless to add that it was in the same New York that a sitting Governor Andrew Cuomo was forced out of office for "mere" huggings and kisses; yet this very privileged young man is now found by the judge as too good to go to prison, after actually, wrongfully penetrating four girls, one of which is a 15 year old minor. 

What is wrong with some people or has New York now become so rich-woke sensitive that everything is now seen through a certain predetermined prism. A rapist and sexual predator/sex offender, who would have spent eight years in prison was instead patted on the back with a probation; and to make matters worse, the outrageous decision cannot be appealed. Really? Whatever is going on in Niagara New York demands a second look at and possibly a federal investigation because it does not make sense that this rapist walked. The other time it was in Texas that a white rich kid walked, after killing four people in a drunk driving accident, using a defense of affluenza; and now, another white rich young man walked away from going to prison for sexual crimes against four women, in Niagara New York, based on a similar circumstance of his very privileged background. It is sad. #SayNoToAffluenzaDefense.
