Professor Killer Finally Resigns Post
Earlier this week, ex-Penn professor Rafael Robb pled guilty to manslaughter for killing his wife. He will most likely face 4 1/2 to 6 years in prison, and some people are saying it’s a bit of a light sentence for bludgeoning your wife to death. These people have apparently spent their recent years in some sort of hermetically sealed bubble and are just learning how the American justice system works. Next they’re going to tell me black people get incarcerated longer for drug possession than white people do! But no matter. The real story is: Rafael Robb is no longer a Penn professor! Yes, when I wrote ex-Penn professor the other day I was apparently in error; the Associated Press reports Robb, an econ prof, officially resigned yesterday, the day after his guilty plea. Anyway, so, no more Prof. Robb at Penn. Professor Ira Einhorn is still teaching his environmental science course come springtime. Professor Officially Resigns After Wife’s Death [AP/CBS 3] |

It’s possible that some black people get incarcerated longer for drug possession than this white professor will be for bludgeoning his wife to death.
How’s that war on drugs working out? Sheesh.
Dealing five grams of crack carries a five-year minimum sentence. That seems pretty similar to bludgeoning your wife to death, so, you know.
Nevermind, I found a better one: “The average crack cocaine sentence, 120 months, is greater than: the 103-month average sentence for robbery; the 76-month average sentence for arson; the 64-month average sentence for sexual abuse; and the 31-month average sentence for manslaughter.”
