. The Tulsa County district attorney felt “disappointment” after a judge granted probation on Friday to a man jurors found guilty of first-degree rape, he said Monday.
But the man’s attorney said the outrage at the court’s decision is “political posturing” and ignores the wide amount of discretion allowed to district court judges.
Malik Omar Vance, 23, received 13 years of probation for first-degree rape after jurors found him guilty of raping a then-18-year-old woman at an east Tulsa apartment in the fall of 2017. An affidavit states that she said she woke up after a night of drinking to find him on top of her and that she “kept telling him no and she tried to move herself away but he kept going.”
A jury found Vance guilty and recommended a 13-year sentence, which District Judge Sharon Holmes opted to suspend when she sentenced him Friday.
“I don’t know what reasoning the court had to put a convicted first-degree rapist who received a 13-year sentence on an 85% crime back on the streets,” Kunzweiler said. “So in essence 12 jurors deliberated — in this case they deliberated for one hour based on the evidence and knew he was looking at 85% of any sentence they gave him.
“They found him guilty … but the court made the determination that probation was appropriate for a first-degree rapist. I certainly disagree with that.”
But Vance’s attorney, Dustin Phillips, said Monday that “Judge Holmes was well within her rights to sentence Mr. Vance to probation.” Kunzweiler acknowledged that Holmes’ decision is not an issue the state can appeal to a higher court.
Jail records show that Vance left the Tulsa County jail Friday night after spending almost two months in custody awaiting his sentencing.
“Mr. (Steve) Kunzweiler claims to be frustrated that Mr. Vance won’t serve any time behind bars, but probation was the offer from his office all along,” Phillips said. “His office even offered probation that wouldn’t require Mr. Vance to register as a sex offender or be a convicted felon.”
Asked about plea negotiations, Assistant District Attorney Alison Nutt said her office did not extend an official offer to Vance. But she and Kunzweiler said it is not unusual for prosecutors to offer deals in felony cases, which often saves people from having to testify about trauma.
“We didn’t really have a whole lot of conversation or negotiation back and forth about getting the case worked out,” Nutt said of Vance’s case. “It was always my understanding that he would not plead to anything other than a misdemeanor, and that was not something I was interested in.”
However, she acknowledged that her office identified the case early on as being potentially more difficult to present during a trial.
“We do have the concern at the back of our head of: ‘Do we put the victim through this in hopes of getting a win? Or do we try to be a bit more conservative?’” Nutt said. “But we were always of the opinion that, if it wasn’t going to get worked out, we were going to go for it (at trial) and take the community’s temperature on how they feel about a case like this.”
Phillips, though, said he believed that the District Attorney’s Office’s public expression of frustration about the resolution of the case is “political posturing — nothing more.”
Kunzweiler responded Monday evening and described his reaction as “disappointment” that a person jurors found guilty of a violent crime is not in prison.
“Mr. Kunzweiler is a politician,” Phillips said. “He knows how to play the game where he appears ‘tough on crime’ with the media but allows his office to make the same plea offers he’s so upset about when the media calls.”
Holmes historically has declined to elaborate on her decisions outside the courtroom but has made comments from the bench. Nutt said that did not occur Friday.
A presentence investigation report was not available for Vance by Monday evening, but its authors can make recommendations to judges for probation, split sentencing or incarceration.
“In my mind it sends the worst possible message to victims of sexual assault,” Kunzweiler said. “Because of how emotional this case was for the victim, she did what she had to do at trial, but she did not want to be present for the sentencing. We had to have a post-sentencing phone call with her, and she is devastated by the court’s decision.”
Nutt said Monday afternoon that a juror learned of Holmes’ decision on the news and called her office to express disagreement with Vance’s receiving probation.
“We wanted to see what a jury thought — and they told us what they thought,” she said.
“And, honestly, despite the ruling that was given on Friday, ultimately their verdict sent us a message that we can go after these cases more aggressively. And we will continue to go after them a lot more aggressively, especially based on how our social climate is changing.

Ohio man charged with hate crime related to alleged plot to commit mass shooting of women-An Ohio man who is a self-proclaimed "incel" was arrested on Wednesday.
Genco also allegedly stated in a written manifesto that he would "slaughter" women "out of hatred, jealousy and revenge."
As part of their investigation into the alleged plot, law enforcement agents reportedly discovered a note that they say was written by Genco indicating his hope to "aim big" and kill up to 3,000 people, according to the DOJ statement. The note also allegedly indicated his intention to attend military training, which investigators found he completed in December 2019.
In March 2020, local police officers reported finding among other items, a firearm with a bump stock attached, several loaded magazines, body armor and boxes of ammunition in the trunk of Genco's vehicle, the DOJ statement said.

Pink Offers to Pay Fine for Norwegian Women's Handball Team Over 'Sexist' Bikini Dress Code
Pink is showing her support for the Norwegian women's handball team after they protested a "sexist" dress code.
The three-time Grammy Award winner, 41, offered to pay the team's $1,765.28 fine imposed by the European Handball Federation. The EHF said the women competed in "improper clothing" when they opted for shorts instead of the mandated bikini bottoms at the European Beach Handball Championships.
"I'm VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR 'uniform,'" Pink wrote on Twitter Saturday. "The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I'll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up."
Indian teenager beaten to death, hanged for wearing jeans
https://nypost.com/2021/07/27/indian...wearing-jeans/
A teenage girl in India was allegedly beaten to death and publicly hanged by male family members for wearing jeans.
The mother of Neha Paswan, 17, said her daughter’s grandfather and uncles attacked her with sticks in her own home following an argument about her clothes, according to the BBC.
The deadly beating happened last week in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, one of the nations least developed regions, according to the outlet.
“She had kept a day-long religious fast. In the evening, she put on a pair of jeans and a top and performed her rituals. When her grandparents objected to her attire, Neha retorted that jeans were made to be worn and that she would wear it,” Shakuntala Devi Paswan, told BBC Hindi.
When the argument turned violent and a gang beating left the girl unconscious, male relatives said they were calling a driver to take her to the hospital, according to the report.
“They wouldn’t let me accompany them so I alerted my relatives who went to the district hospital looking for her but couldn’t find her,” Shakuntala Devi reportedly said.
The next morning, the girl’s mother found Neha’s body hanging from a bridge over a river, according to the article.
Ten people are reportedly being investigated for murder and destruction of evidence, including the teen’s grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and the driver of the auto rickshaw that was supposedly taking her to be treated. Four of them have been arrested, the outlet said.
Shakuntala Devi reportedly said that her in-laws were pressuring Neha, an aspiring police officer, to abandon her studies in a local school, even as her father worked as a day laborer in Punjab to pay for the girl’s education.
The sickening case illustrates the violence that women and girls face at home in the patriarchal society, where misogynistic attacks are often sanctioned by family elders, the BBC said.
On average, 20 women are killed every day in India for bringing in insufficient dowries, according to the outlet.
Last month, footage emerged of a 20-year-old woman being beaten by her father and three male cousins for running away from an abusive husband in the nearby state of Madhya Pradesh, according to The Indian Express.
A week before, two girls in the region were slapped, kicked, dragged by the hair and beaten with sticks by family members for talking to a male cousin on the phone, according to NDTV.
Police reportedly arrested seven people after the footage went viral, but video showed onlookers gawked at the public attack and failed to intervene.
In another viral June attack in the state of Gujarat, two teenage girls were beaten by a mob of at least 15 men for talking on their cell phones, according to India Today.
“It’s shocking that in the 21st Century, we are killing and assaulting girls for wearing jeans or talking on a mobile phone,” Gender activist Rolly Shivhare told the BBC.
“The government says girls are our priority and announces grand schemes for their welfare, but nothing happens on the ground,” Shivhare reportedly said.
“The shelter homes and crisis centres in India are few and most are so badly run that no-one would want to go live there. Our government needs to allocate more funds and improve their condition.
“But the only long-term solution is to make girls more aware of their rights.”
A 2018 poll by the Thomson Reuters Foundation found that experts ranked India as the most dangerous UN member country for women and girls.
There’s an all-woman police force fighting sexual harassment
https://nypost.com/2017/07/26/theres...al-harassment/
In many parts of India, sexual violence and harassment of women is commonplace. Nearly 40,000 rapes are recorded each year, however, many more are thought to go unreported, with victims fearful of the repercussions.
But one city may have found a solution — an all-female police force who patrol the streets to protect women and reassure them that help is only a call or even a WhatsApp message away.
The female officers of Jaipur, the capital of India’s Rajasthan state, are all trained in martial arts and travel on foot or by moped. They patrol the city’s colleges, bus stops and parks to combat sex crimes and a pervasive culture of silence around rape.
“The message we want to send out is that we have zero tolerance toward crimes against women,” Kamal Shekhawat, who heads the specialist Jaipur unit, told AAP.
Since being established in May, the unit says they’ve already seen a preventative effect and harassment at hotspots has dropped significantly.
“This is very good because men will be scared when they see these women on duty,” male resident Ram Lal Gujar told the BBC.
“If one man gets beaten up, others will also feel the heat automatically if they’re doing anything wrong.”
Around 80 percent of Indian women have been harassed by men in public. Known as “Eve teasing” — a euphemism used throughout South Asia — everyday harassment includes catcalling, sexual comments and being followed by strangers.
In conservative northwest India, victims are often afraid to report sexual violence to a largely male-dominated police force. Women make up just 7 percent of officers but the force has been ordered to recruit more women so they make up a third of law enforcement.
The newly established all-female units are beginning to shatter the stigma attached to rape in the deeply patriarchal society, as reported by The Hindustan Times.
“Women police are more empathetic and victims also feel more confident and are able to communicate openly before them,” Shekhawat said.
Student’s death sparked change
India faced international scrutiny over the death of a medical student who was gang-raped on a bus in New Delhi in December 2012.
The student’s death led to some progress towards change, with laws to punish sex offenders strengthened in the aftermath. However, attacks are still rife. In the capital New Delhi alone there were 2,199 rape cases in 2015 — an average of six a day.
