Girls, You Have To Hand It To These Two!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two being, of course, Joe and Jane Clementi, parents of Tyler!!!! The Raving Queen has just learned they were at the court hearing, last Thursday, when Ravi rejected his plea deal, and they had a couple of things to say, which I feel bears mentioning.
First, they praised Judge Glenn Berman, as do I, for not allowing the defense to get their hands on Tyler's things--backpack, handwritten note, computer. His privacy has been violated enough, already; why must it be tampered with, further????
But they also said, that while Ravi should bear legal accountability, they don't think his sentencing should be harsh!!!!! Once he rejected the plea deal, if her is convicted, he will face 10 years imprisonment. The Clementis clearly do not want that harsh a sentence for him.
You have to hand it to them, considering what happened to their child, and how their family was, if not destroyed, irrevocably altered!!! It says much about then, and it shows where Tyler got all those loving, gentle qualities attributed to him!!!!
More than the rest of us, understandably, they want justice for Tyler, and they deserve it!!!! As angry and upset as this whole thing has made me feel, we must use the Clementis as a template!!!! They do not want Ravi burned at the stake; they just want justice served for Tyler, and their family, so that he can Rest In Peace!!!!
Could one ask for better voices of reason here than the Clementis???? I say we follow their example, as no one was hit harder by this than they!!!!!
Justice, tempered with mercy, darlings????????? Yes; but JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
