I’m sorry but what is that? This monster received a whopping 28 years in prison for the following:
In his plea and sentence agreement with the state, James admitted that he had raped the girl in bushes on November 5, 2006, and sodomised her before stabbing her in her side, bashing a rock over her head and throwing her into a fire.
Let me list those things for clarity:
1. Rape
2. Sodomy
3. Stabbing (attempted murder)
4. Bashing a rock over her head (attempted murder)
5. Throwing her in to a fire (attempted murder)
For the above Abraham James received a mere 28 years in prison. He is 30 now and will then get out close to his 60th birthday. That is if he doesn’t get off earlier for “good behaviour”.
One thing I left out, is that the girl that this maniac attacked is 7 years old.
The only solace I can find in his sentence is that even lowly prisoners can recognise that child rapists deserve death and often put the convicted through a living death in prison. Let’s hope there are some fathers in that prison who have 7 year old daughters. Let’s hope it’s James’ cell-mate and let’s hope it hurts. Bastard.

As you said, prison isn’t going to be a nice place for this guy.
Our justice system is totally corrupt and bizarre. We really need a miracle in this country.

Nice innit. For justice in South Africa a man is condemned to homosexual abuse in prison. A cruel and unusual punishment – death would be straightforward. We’re all going to die anyhow – why shouldn’t he die sooner?
