If you were appalled by previous accounts of serial rapist John Hamlett and his ruthless cross-examination of one of his distraught victims during his trial, you'll be pleased to know that he was sentenced to 154 years in prison yesterday. Hamlett, whose decision to act his own lawyer during witness testimony backfired spectacularly, was convicted on all 12 counts for repeatedly breaking into the same building on East Third Street and Avenue B and sexually assaulting his victims at knife point. In giving Hamlett the maximum sentence yesterday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley regretted that he could only incarcerate him for the rest of his life: "The sentence you deserve is beyond my ability to impose, so state prison will have to do."





i smell a law and order episode.

But with one crucial difference. Anyone care to guess what that difference will be?
@ 2
commercial breaks?
a kick ass Mike Post score?
p.s. i don't mean to mock rape or rape victims, i just men to mock law and order. so relax before you start e-shouting.
#2- that the perp will be chinese? You guys notice that all the ads for child abuse, std testing, and domestic violence print ads on the subway have asians in them? they've become the catch all minority. If you have ads with child abuse with a hispanic kid it's racist but with an asian kid you don't feel the heat.
Can't they arrange some horrible accident for him on the way to jail, one involving electricity, fire ants, and burning dowels? It's not like anyone is going to miss this turd.
#2 The perp will be a right-wing, neo-nazi, racist, bible-thumping white guy. (You know, just to reflect the every day New York City reality of hooded klansmen on horseback sweeping across the urban landscape terrorizing women and minorities with impunity.)
The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. The same can be said of criminals.
Yeah, they've never ever had black criminals on Law & Order. Those damned bleeding heart liberals at NBC Universal!
Sick bastard. We should let r1b2 drive that prison-bound bus.
Nananana, nananana, yeah yeah yeah, good-byeeeeeeee.
Too bad he'll probably be out in 5 years.
6 months then he will be out on probation. Thats what sucks about our criminal system.

Who else wants to send the Judge a huge batch of cookies?
Well said by Judge Wiley. Hope this guy gets a taste of his own medicine in prison.
"he was sentenced to 154 years in prison yesterday." He will be walking the streets in 15.4 months. Why don't we just take the dude out and save the money? Let's see 154 years times $44,000 a year is $6,776,000, not including inflation. A little pricey to pay to support a piece of shit.
Yeah, they've never ever had black criminals on Law & Order
Wow. So you guys are saying that TV is fake?
Would a fleshlight have stopped this man from raping all of those women?
These comments are fucking stupid.
