Default Sherzer Trial

Ok Paul,
you seem to be a decent sort and a level headed individual. I'll reserve my
judgment until the facts come out in the trial.

Dear Jeff:

I have an 11-year old daughter and a 10-year old son. As I said, I
told Alex my opinion of his actions. What I said to him is between me
and him. However, there are some facts that the public do not know.
I think people should hold the judgment until after the trial.
Everyone is in agreement that he made a very poor judgment. But to
look at the case purely based on what the newspaper stated is unfair.
Let the legal system takes care of itself. Let the facts be known
once it is available and both sides can comment on it.

Best Regards,
Paul

Well, not for nothing, but do any of you guys that are in Alex's corner

have
kids? He initially did correspond with a minor, so I am curious if any

of you
have kids.

Regards,
Jeff

Default Sherzer Trial

I have a 12 yr old girl. So you can see why my anger is justifiable.


My point EXACTLY! If he would have had that conversation with MY daughter, no
police would have been involved at all, he would have just gone "missing".
While the circumstances of his case are questionable, he still thought he was
talking to a 15 year old GIRL. A GIRL. He still thought he was corresponding
with a girl. So while he was corresponding with what HE THOUGHT was a 15 year
old girl, what kind of feelings was he having? Was he anxious to go and meet
WHAT HE THOUGHT was a girl? I saw someone say that "sure, he's a little
ODD",
well YEAH!! If you like kids you WOULD be a little ODD. I don't care what
stature he has, who he is, who his friends are, he still THOUGHT he was
talking
to a 15 year old girl and had every intention of carrying out this act. That
counts for NOTHING though? Sure, maybe not prison time because he didn't
actually DO anything, but it should be WELL known that he's a pervert and I
hope his reputation and standing ARE ruined. But the law being what it is,
he'll more than likely get off because his "friends" will have their say in
court and paint this pretty picture of Mr. Sherzer. I just hope that if thats
the case and he dares show his face at a tournament someone has the balls to
tell him what a scumbag he is.


The problem is that the agent led him by the nose. If he was the predator they
say he was, the agent wouldn't have had to do that.

Actually, what was in the paper made a good case for acquittal.

Maybe even a countersuit by Alex.

He would have if he wanted to catch him now, before it was too late. A
"predator" would be cautious and might wait months and months to make his
move,
and probably wouldn't instruct the girl to let the Feds know when he did.


He might even have waited until she was 18!

The problem is that the agent led him. You can't say that he'd have done what
he did if he kept talking to the girl.

He never did anything illegal to the girl herself, which means the agent had no
probable cause to get involved.

If I'm on that jury, he walks like Shaq on a highlight film.

By the NOSE, eh?

Sounds like Freud's fourth stage: oral, anal, phallic and nasal...

Well, poor judgement is an understatement when it comes to something like this.
Ask a Catholic priest. I'd just like to know if you'd leave your children in
Alex's care.

But INTENT, you know, INTENDING to do what he was going to do counts for
nothing? He seemed pretty jocked up for it. That means nothing though right?

And as soon as the emails turned sexual, he COULD have merely cut off ALL
contact too. As soon as the agent led the emails to that, he could have simply
no longer replied. ANY NORMAL person would have done that.

Heil Dubya!

And horse ****, "King Leopold". I have two daughters and six granddaughters,
so I many more than "one-up-you". In addition, I think I was the first person
on this forum to SHOUT, "ENTRAPMENT!"

Sherzer is innocent of any such crime and his persecution should be ended.

Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt!

Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka uber Alles!

(Was 11 September 2001 Kristalnacht or the date of the Reichstag fire?)

Fraternally,
