Woman 'Slapped On Wrist' After Abducting Child From Father

This story in the Chicago Daily News once again highlights the fact that women are, often, given lighter sentences than men for similar crimes. In this case, a woman who abducted her child from the father 10 years ago was sentenced to probation for it. Ever though everyone agreed the crime was "horrible," the father agreed to the sentence because he wanted the long, drawn out legal proceedings over. The kidnapper had accused the father of child abuse and absconded with his little girl in 1991. Standing in court, in an anguished voice and bordering on tears, Reichart read a statement condemning his ex-wife as being a "pathological liar."
