What Is A Woman's Life Worth In America?

Via Shakesville, go read.

The cousin’s victim impact statement, reproduced in the comments, is particularly heartbreaking. I’m not generally a big fan of victim impact statements, but then I have always assumed killing a woman by drugging her so that the defendant could rape her and reach his goal of sleeping with (read: raping) 100 women didn’t require a victim impact statement for people (read: the court, the government and society) to understand what a horrible, little psychopath the defendant is. Clearly I was wrong.
