He's a baaaaaahhhhhaaaaaad man! But he doesn't have to resister as sex offender

This make no sense to me:

I guess picnic table guy should be safe in Michigan.

A Calhoun County man who sodomized a sheep will not have to register as a sex offender because the sheep cannot be considered a victim of sexual assault under Michigan law, a court ruled this week.

Jeffrey Scott Haynes, 45, is serving a 2 1/2 - to 20-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to sodomy in 2006. He was found trespassing on a farm in Bedford Township in January 2005. The farmer called police when she realized one of her sheep was injured. A DNA sample taken from the sheep matched Haynes, a career criminal with convictions dating to 1985.

At his February 2006 sentencing, Calhoun County Circuit Judge Conrad Sindt ordered that once Haynes was paroled, he must register on the state's public sex offender registry, which includes the names, addresses and offenses of all convicted sex offenders.

Haynes appealed that order, and on Tuesday, a three member panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals agreed.

Noting that the sheep was the "object" of Haynes' "abominable and detestable crime against nature," the judges said the sheep could not be considered a victim, because victims, under Michigan law, are defined as "individuals." The judges, Jane Markey, William Whitbeck and Elizabeth Gleicher, determined the term "individual" means "person" or "human being" and not an animal.

SHEEP LIE!

I guess it is my duty to stand up for this guy. 2.5-20 years for having sex with a sheep? No matter how deplorable, disgusting, etc his act, animals should be considered property. You can't forcibly sodomize property. The only crimes he was guilty of is trespass and destruction of property.

Sex offeder registry? Unconstitutional even when dealing with assaults on other human beings in my opinion, but it's low on my libertarian priority list given recidivism rates and the heinous nature of many of the initial offenses.

For things like sex with goats and sex with 17-year olds, a disgrace to liberty.

I disagree. I think the 2 years in the pokey is merited for committing such a cliched act.

No wonder why the SHEEP questions haven't been posted in ages. JCT said he loved sheep, but wow.

Don't forget the alleged victim didn't even testify against him.

Again I say, SHEEP LIE!

 

[crazedchipmunk]

I'm sorry but I think that this guy is disgusting. I must say the he shouldn't necessarily register as a sex offender. I think that he should be in jail for sodomizing that poor animal. I mean seriously.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Means No!

At least so says the shirt on tshirthell.com
