As closure comes to the Graham family, friends, and the UVA community, my anger grows more and more. How could this have happened?
I understand that there are twisted individuals. I watch Criminal Minds. I also realize that there are serial killers, rapists, and all sorts of sick ****s out there. What I don’t understand is why Jesse Matthew was passed from school to school.
I don’t buy the privacy excuse. If someone has misbehaved badly enough to be expelled from a school, then that school has a moral obligation and duty to attach a reason for expulsion to all future transcripts. If they don’t, they are cowards. If there are laws preventing an attachment describing the reason for removal, then those said laws need to be fixed, repealed or whatever it takes.
Jesse Matthew was sent packing from both Liberty University and Christopher Newport for sexual assault or misconduct at best. I have no idea why he wasn’t prosecuted for rape. Were the girls involved pressured into dropping charges? Were the cops being lazy? Were both these incidents brushed under the proverbial rug? Did both schools want to protect their reputations as crime safe academic communities?
