Especially in light of some recent and past class discussions, everyone might be interested in these two recent posts from my main blog about Ohio happenings:
- Ohio's death row getting smaller (though new AG still laments pace of appeals)
-
Ohio ACLU writes to local lawmakers and prosecutors about sexting
Also, students already looking for a different (and fresh) perspective on federal sentencing discretion and the limits of law might want to check out the article references in this post: Deep thoughts about post-Booker sentencing and sources of law.

Sexting crimes are ridiculous. In what universe does it make sense that a 17-year-old should be a life reporting sex offender for sending a naked picture of herself to her boyfriend? This is a new low of nonsense for even the government. I am 100% in support of A TRUE pedophile receiving a harsh sentence and being a life reported for creating and distributing actual child pornography. Child pornography is heinous and every step should be taken to eliminate it. I understand this is more or less a situation of the law being behind technology, but the Ohio legislature needs to step up and fix this now, before any more “innocent” high school students have their lives (and the lives of their family members) ruined for a silly mistake.
