An Omaha police officer and his wife, charged with felony child abuse, have admitted in court to repeatedly handcuffing his son, for as long as 27 hours at a time.  Fredric James, 39, a police detective, and his wife, Susan R. James, faced up to five years in prison if convicted on each of four counts.  Today James admitted in court that he did it.

Now you might think that when a perp admits his crime, the result of that admission is that he is convicted and sentenced.  You might think that would be especially true if the perp happens to be a cop, who used police equipment in committing a felony.  Yeah, well, you’re obviously not from around here.  In Omaha it’s the victims of child abuse who are considered the criminal.  Because James admitted he committed the crime, charges were dropped.
