Though the trial happened back in 2009, for some bizarre reason, the case has only now been publicized. In a nutshell, Robert Richards IV, an heir to the du Pont fortune, admitted to raping his 3-year old daughter and molesting his infant son. Shockingly, however, Richards was spared a prison sentence by Judge Jan Jurden, who said he wouldn’t “fare well in prison.” In a predominantly young-soul world, it’s not unusual for wealth and privilege to protect miscreants from punishment. It happens everywhere. If Richards were black or poor, he’d be locked up for life. As it is, he’s free on probation.
The justice system is seriously flawed, but freeing a self-confessed child rapist? What’s going on here?
On a soul level, Judge Jurden is an older soul (level 6) firmly trapped behind the Illusion, the barrier between the conscious self and the soul. She has a huge past life fear of inferiority that has made her a high achiever. In other words, her soul, afraid it will be seen as inadequate, has pushed her to over-achieve to “prove” itself.
Richards is also a level 6 soul, whose past life issues are in the area of intimacy and rejection. He has suffered abuse, himself. (That’s an observation from my Spirit Guides, and not meant to condone his behavior in any way.)
Like a lot of people with extreme past life trauma, he is emotionally detached from the suffering of others.
Should we feel compassion, as Judge Jurden did, for a broken soul like Robert Richards, or should he be locked up for the crime he committed?
The answer from the spirit world is both. My Spirit Guides were as outraged by this miscarriage of justice as I was. And though they’re generally the first to offer compassion towards traumatized souls, they observed that it’s Richards’ victims who are the ones most deserving of sympathy (and protection) in this case.
My Spirit Guides note that the system is continually being abused by wealth and class. From behind the Illusion, Judge Jurden identified with a rich white guy in a way that would never have happened if he’d been poor, or of a different race.

It makes me curious about what the judge and the rapist will be learning when they get to the spiritual world; about themselves. It also makes me wonder about the possibly karmic nature of their relationship/fated connection to each other.
I think we can bring the man to justice and still have compassion for him by realizing that his soul is learning a particularly tough lesson this time around. I may not have all the knowledge that you have on this subject, but my intuition is telling me that, in cases like this, we (society) have a collective soul pact with the wrongdoer to see that they learn a lesson of receiving justice and that if we let him slide we are doing his soul no favors. I also think that on a soul level his soul has as tough a lesson as the victim’s. I realize that concept is a tough one for victims and their loved ones.
Also, on the topic of punishment for crimes in this world and how it relates to our knowledge of souls, recently I’ve been thinking that a good argument for incarceration over death penalty for certain crimes is that it allows the wrongdoer’s soul to live out the lifetime and learn the lesson completely so that they might not have need of another life covering the same lesson. A lifetime in prison would give them opportunity for introspection on this level of existence and also give their soul the full lesson of the lifetime as well. What do you think?
