It's shit like this that sends me into a tirade of obsenity, and usually ends up with me having to go to the chiropractor to get the stress kinks out of my back.

Let's see..... two times a day, sometimes three (especially with a lot of extra idle time on my hands... pun intended) , times sixty extra days.....

3*60 ad infinium

 

I would be imprisoned for infinity.

I would just like to point out that he wasn't charged for masturbating per se, he was charged with indecent exposure.

 

From the Miami Herald (7/26/07):

Quote:

The sole witness in the case, BSO Deputy Coryus Veal, testified that Alexander did not try to hide what he was doing as most prisoners do. Veal saw him perform the act while she was working in a glass-enclosed master control room, 100 feetfrom Alexander's cell. There was no video tape or other witnesses.

Quote:

Veal, who has charged seven other inmates with the same offense, insisted that she was not against the act itself -- just the fact that Alexander was so blatant about it. Most inmates, she testified, do it in bed, under the blankets.

Veal said this was the third time she caught Alexander, and she had had enough.

 

From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel (7/26/07)

Quote:

The jailhouse deputy didn't bring the indecent exposure charge against the inmate until the third time he masturbated in front of her.

That's what Deputy Coryus Veal told Broward County jurors Wednesday as they heard the state build its case against Terry Lee Alexander, 20.

Every time he did it, he stared directly at her, said Veal, 45, a nearly nine-year veteran with the Broward Sheriff's Office and mother of a 19-month-old.

It was the deliberateness of the act that offended her, she said.

Had he covered himself with a blanket, Veal said, "we wouldn't be here today."

It took the four-man, two-woman jury about 45 minutes to reach a guilty verdict.

The crux of deliberations was whether the jail was a public place, said juror David Sherman, a Fort Lauderdale science-fiction novelist.

The jury concluded it was. "Limited access, to be sure," Sherman said, "but it's not a private place."

Masturbation wasn't the issue, he said, but rather the manner in which it was done. "None of us had any problem with masturbation in private," Sherman said.

"It was about him exposing himself to her," said jury foreman Ed Welch, of Coral Springs.

If you think laws against indecent exposure are wrong, that's one thing, but don't make this case out to be something that it's not.

So how long are they going to extend Kent Hovind's sentence when a prison guard sees him indecently exposed while bent over receiving from his cell mate?
