<snip>
One of the women assaulted by former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw said she feared for her life when he pulled her over and forced her to perform a sex act on him.

The jury deliberated for more than 40 hours before reaching its verdict late Thursday.
The jurors recommended a total of 263 years of prison time for Holtzclaw's crimes. Formal sentencing is set for next month.

For about six months, Holtzclaw preyed on women -- all African-American -- in one of Oklahoma's poorest neighborhoods, exploiting his police badge to intimidate them into keeping quiet.

Prosecutors say the Oklahoma City officer selected his victims based on their criminal histories, figuring their drug or prostitution records would undermine any claims they might make against him.

Then, he would subject them to assaults that escalated from groping to oral sodomy and rape.

He was sure bawling his eyes out.

But I'm pretty sure I don't give a damn.

Rot in jail you piece of scum. Enjoy your protective custody or whatever they call it so that the other inmates don't get to you and you get like one hour of sunlight a day and almost no human interaction.

He mouthed something like "how could you do this to me" at the jury last night. I don't think those were tears of remorse, but rather tears of getting caught.

I meant "remorseful at getting caught".

I don't think he is one bit remorseful about what he did.


I however, am very happy that he got caught and convicted, and hope this gets LOTS of media attention so that others who might be so inclined to act out their power trip fantasies like this might think twice.


263 years. I hope the actual sentence is all of it.

Sociopaths have very deep feelings but only for themselves.

My mom used to say that Self pity is the best kind of pity because you know it's sincere.
