State Defends High School Rapist in Shocking Court Docs
About this episode
Jesse Butler entered a no contest plea to multiple rape and domestic assault charges in Oklahoma last year, but the court granted him Youthful Offender Status, wiping away all prison time. Now the victims and their families are crying foul, challenging the decision under Marsy's Law and arguing their constitutional rights were violated. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber spoke with Rachel Bussett, the attorney who filed the Marsy's Law motion on behalf of one of Butler's victims, about the latest developments.
