The particular 15-year-old who so attracted Dr. Sherzer was already a
fascinating woman, fully capable of taking care of herself, and who
indeed did take care of herself. Note the extreme caution with which
she treated Dr. Sherzer's cell phone gift.


I don't remember or didn't notice what happened with the cell phone,
but I wonder how her mom got hold of her email. That suggests
carelesness.

Default Winners and Losers in the Sherzer Case




The truth is this was a lose-lose proposition. Even I, who argued for
acquittal, realize that for the most part we'd be better off if everyone
with his proclivities would jump off a bridge tomorrow. I'm giving him the
benefit of the doubt because he's intelligent and a chessplayer. If he's
compulsive or psychotic he'll do it again, but I'm hoping he's just horny
and not driven by some unbeatable demon. I'm betting he's smart enough and
sane enough to learn from this mistake and rehabilitate himself.

Nevertheless, if I catch him around here doing the same thing I'll shove a
life-sized rook up his ass so far he'll scream "DOSHVIDANYE BAY-BEEEE."

One thing for sure, Alex Sherzer now knows who his friends really are.

For example, John Fernandez, who has repeatedly proclaimed himself to
be a friend of Sherzer, is difinately not his friend. Fernandez was
the first to blast the news of Sherzer's arrest all over the internet
and has been proclaiming since day-1 that Sherzer was guilty.

So, Fernandez is definitely one on the losing end of the Sherzer
verdict.

Other losers are Bruce Draney, who repeatedly declared that Sherzer
was guilty, and Tim Hanke who wrote that there was an 80% likelihood
that Sherzer would go to prison. Also on the list of losers is
drahmiel and several others.

On the other side of the isle are those who always said that Sherzer
was not guilty and would prevail. These include myself, Alan Fifield,
Paul Rubin, Larry Parr, Jerome Bibuld, Paul Truong, plus
"LeModernCaveman".

This is just a short list. Somebody should compile a complete list of
those who expressed an opinion for or against Alex Sherzer.

Bwahahahaha ...
No Sir, You are really pathetic.
You make your own verdict opposite to the court`s verdict but you are not
the judge in the trial so it`s really pathetic.
BTW I believe that professional judges have made the right decision in
Sherzer`s case so my support for him was right too


No SIR YOU OBVIOUSLY missed the point. The POINT is why would one sympathize
with a 32 year old man who wanted and INTENDED to have sex with a 15 year old
girl? And anyone that would sympathize with a man like that IS pathetic.

C'mon. Because he's intelligent and plays a good game of chess he should be
excused for wanting to have sex with a child?? That makes a lot of sense. So
it's okay for him, but someone peon that delivers pizzas for a living can spend
time in the can for it? Ahahahah!! Thats priceless. The guy is a freak and
really needs to lean in and "take one for the team". A 32 year old man with a
taste for teenage girls that trained as and expects to be a DOCTOR. How would
you like him to examine YOUR 15 year old daughter?

If he's
compulsive or psychotic he'll do it again, but I'm hoping he's just horny
and not driven by some unbeatable demon. I'm betting he's smart enough and
sane enough to learn from this mistake and rehabilitate himself.


I'm betting he'll be cool for awhile. Awhile. Let's see how he does
unsupervised around a room full of 14 or 15 year old girls.

Nevertheless, if I catch him around here doing the same thing I'll shove a
life-sized rook up his ass so far he'll scream "DOSHVIDANYE BAY-BEEEE."


Now why would you feel that way? Thats the most intelligent thing I've heard
anyone say about this matter. Given the opportunity I'd like to tell him a few
things myself.

Man, I can sympathize with him as a chess player.
But I don`t sympathize with his lusts for young girls.
Obviously the court agreed that it was an entrapment and there was no sex
with that underaged girl. What`s more Sherzer was seduced by the "clever"
and adult agent not by 15-year-old-innocent-virgin.
So you missed the main point of the whole case. Fortunately you weren`t the
judge.

No, AGAIN you miss the point. The point is he, a 32 year old man, wanted to
have sex with a 15 year old girl. He INTENDED to do just that. The fact that
someone was posing as this 15 year old girl is really moot. He THOUGHT he was
corresponding with a 15 year old and wanted to have sex with WHAT HE THOUGHT
was a 15 year old girl. You find that a 32 year old man wanting to have sex
with a 15 year old girl NORMAL??? I don't care whether it was entrapment or
not. He STILL THOUGHT it was a 15 year old girl. Thats the only REAL point. Any
NORMAL 32 year old man that *I* know doesn't want to have sex with 15 year old
kids. Justify your arguement or twist this around any way you like. He's a
pervert that has a taste for teenage girls, but that means nothing I guess.

The mother found the cell phone, as well as computer print outs of the
conversations between Sherzer and her daughter and contacted the FBI. My
recollection of this "fascinating...capable woman" is that she had an eating
disorder and was described by her mother at the trial proceedings as
"troubled." She doesn't exactly sound like somebody ready to take the world
by storm.

I don't get much sense from that of what the girl was like. Lots of
capable people have eating disorders. Just about any overbright,
angst-filled teenager could be described as "troubled". It still
sounds careless if she left the cell phone and printouts where her
mother could find them. It even sounds careless that she made the
printouts at all.

some mothers go through your things. Some mothers read your diaries. Some
of this snooping is granted.

I don't know what you mean about granted. I do know that if a teenager
has a private diary and their mother reads it, they're going to have a
fight on their hands, and if the invasion continues, they may end up
with a runaway child who becomes a drug addict and insert your favorite
hysteria. It's better to treat the teenager with some respect and leave
their diary alone.
