Behind the chicken wire curtain

Some folks are amazed that Phill Raije Rian (her real name), a 41-year-old Williamson County mother of two, got twenty-three years in prison after being convicted recently of having consensual sex with the 16-year-old boy who mowed her lawn and babysat her kids. She’ll only have to serve half that before she is eligible for parole, but it’s a tough sentence. Some local bloggers have pointed out that former Williamson constable, Roger Dale Proctor, got five years probation and thirty days in jail for his molestation of a minor girl. But there is a big difference in the two cases, beyond the notion that being a Williamson County peace officer (behind what critics call the county’s "chicken wire curtain") will get you more consideration: Proctor pled guilty. Rian insisted she was innocent, but the jury was convinced that she was lying. So they recommended the long jail time. Rian’s children will have to grow up without her. It’s a controversial situation, and criticism of the sentence keeps rolling in.
