Mars Gets 16 Years for Rape, HIV Exposure

Just yesterday, I wrote about Donna Sue Mars and her trial, anticipating that it would take a nominal amount of time. But no, it appears that the court and the jury didn't need a lot of time to convict and sentence her. Everything was wrapped up yesterday afternoon.

Mars received 10 years for rape and six years for exposing the boy to HIV. Judge Clinger ordered the sentences to be served consecutively.
