In the state of Michigan, one court case in particular is drawing an immense amount of scrutiny and criticism. It's possible you've already heard of it, but if not, you might want to familiarize yourself with who Christopher Mirasolo is, and why a joint custody ruling in his favor has set off a furious controversy.

As detailed by The Detroit News, Mirasolo, 27, won joint custody of an eight-year-old boy this week, despite the fact that he allegedly raped the child's mother nine years ago. According to the report, the anonymous victim and her attorney confirmed to the paper that Mirasolo had won joint custody and parental visitation rights after a DNA test established he was the boy's father. The attorney for the boy's mother, Rebecca Kiessling, called the situation "insane," and accused the judicial system of continuing the victimization of her client.

Father's rights and all that.

The larger crime will be if that judge is not removed from the bench, and his ruling tossed out.

Have the circumstances of this case been explained to the boy -- including a clear description of what the crime of forcible rape is? The boy has a right to know this.

I don't know how he could escape it at this point. Here is the Detroit New's Report.
