Ryan Seacrest Stalker Pleads Guilty
The guy who came at Ryan Seacrest with a knife has plead no contest to felony stalking. Apparently he will probably be sentenced to two years in jail and ordered to stay away from Ryan Seacrest for the next ten years. This guy was certainly capable of killing Ryan and I understand the sentence, but I also wonder if Ryan's fame didn't have something to do with the long sentence. I know plenty of people that have been stalked and by people just as dangerous and all they got was a stay away order or maybe the person was put in jail for 30 days. There have been people who have served less time than two years for killing someone.
On the other side of this though, if this guy only got 30 days and then got out and killed Ryan I would be ranting about how he should have been given a longer sentence and how could they let him out so soon. I realize that and it is something I think about frequently. What is the right amount of time? I'm sure Ryan feels safe and warm and protected but what about all the other people who aren't on the number one show in America? How come they are not afforded the same type of protection?
