    There's a lot of exceptions, too many imho.

    You got that right. We have learned to pick our days and times carefully when we want to go into town. It really hurts me to say it, but drivers in the PDX (which includes a huge swathe of southern WA) have inexplicably morphed into the worst drivers in the entire country. Started happening about the time local high schools quit providing driver's education.....truly pathetic.

    I'm not unsympathetic to your viewpoint here, but the 13th doesn't say all prisoners are and must be slaves, it only says that it's ok if some are.

    Wait. That doesn't seem any better...

    Was there ever a law that said certain people must be slaves? Didn't the law almost literally just say that "it's ok if some are"?

    Correct as far as I know. I was really just disagreeing about "prison labor = slave labor". One could imagine a prison job that was optional, paid prevailing wages, etc.

    For sure. But it seems to me that the law should prevent all prisoners being used as slaves.

    I can see an exception for when the punishment is specifically related to reparations for the crime they've been found guilty of, and determined by the judge at sentencing.

    And then, only if there are safeguards in place to prevent abuse of that system. For example, if a judge is divying out these kinds of creative sentences regularly their record should be up for review and or investigation.

    I'm not sure if there is currently a process in place for that kind of oversight or not.

    From what i've been able to gather, they pretty well know Terri Horman is responsible and picked him up after the science fair that day.

    They were seen in the store together after the science fair. She talked about how much she hated him to everyone at the gym she used.

    This is even confirmed by people who work at the diner across from the gym. It was well known how much she despised her stepson.

    They just don't have any hard evidence that will stick and they don't want to lose the ability to try charge if they fail to get a conviction.
