I *will* make a post about the last week... but not yet.
I read this and was completely shocked.. Absolutely amazing story. The guy molests a 12 year old girl over a period of time and gets probation instead of prison. It seems the likelihood that this man will be subjected to the same kind of behavior he perpetrated on children is too much for the judge..
LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- A judge's decision to sentence a 5-foot-1 man to probation instead of prison for sexually assaulting a child has angered crime victim advocates who say the punishment sends the wrong message.
But supporters of short people say it's about time someone recognizes the unique challenges they face.
Cheyenne County District Judge Kristine Cecava issued the sentence Tuesday. She told Richard W. Thompson that his crimes deserved a long prison sentence but that he was too small to survive in a state prison.
