Petition To Get Rid of Short Sentence Judge

CNN

A petition drive is calling for the resignation of the judge who sentenced a sex offender to probation instead of prison in part because of his short stature.

This needs to be done. We are seeing to many judges of late be too lenient on viotlent crimes.

"So, I'm sitting here thinking this guy has earned his way to prison but then I look at you and I look at your physical size. I look at your basic ability to cope with people and, quite frankly, I shake to think what might happen to you in prison, because I don't think you'll do well in prison."

So what if he is short? He wasn't too short to commit these crimes against a child. Once again justice is not served.
