Short Sentence

This is outrageous!
Cheyenne County District Judge Kristine Cecava in Sydney, Nebraska has handed out a sentence of 10 years of probation to child molester Richard Thompsonbecause at 5′1″ he is too short for prison. Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning has vowed to appeal the sentence as soon as possible. Hopefully the appeals court does the right thing and puts this slimeball in prison. Height should have nothing to do with it, the only thing that matters is the crime he commited, which should put him in prison. If you are that worried about his safety in prison then put him in solitary, but personally I’m more worried about what he could possibly do on the outside of the prison walls, rather than what happens to him while he’s on the inside.
Robert Schwartz thinks the judge should serve the prison sentence, I would have to agree. This judge is criminally negligent.
