OMG! The Judge doesn't believe in punishment? WTF? LOL
"anger doesn't solve anything."
And letting pieces of human $hit like this back on the streets does?!
American justice is dead. Can we bury it now?
The judge is so wrong.
That little girl is angry and she will be angry all her life.
If this is a judge whose idea of justice no longer involves punishment, then he needs to be off the bench.
I would assume that if his grandchild was raped, repeatedly, the judge would be sanguine with 60 days for the offender.
Here's hoping that if ever that judge is a plaintiff in a injury lawsuit his words come back to haunt him. For any grievous injury to himself, he would deserve to be awarded the sum of $1 as anything beyond would simply be punishment.
This Judge needs to change his line of work.
He should go into the "rehab" business.
Was this judge elected or appointed?
Vermont Freepers complain that readers love to dump on their state. I wonder why?
I bet he is not a republican.
Sounds like a good place to go rob a Bank.
I think this judge needs his background and personal computer investigated. Maybe he wants to set precedence.. so when he gets caught, he won't have to serve years and years. :)
What's beneath a moron?
The problem here is not that the judge is stupid. He's probably highly intelligent.
It's that he wants to show off what he considers his moral superiority over the rest of society, at our expense.
I can buy a guy getting drunk or high and committing a single heinous act such as this. Although I doubt I could get drunk enough to do such a thing.
But continually repeating it shows a predilection to such activity. In a decent society, there would be capital punishment for such horrendous crimes.
What on earth kind of whacked out rule would state that someone who repeatedly raped a child for FOUR YEARS was at low risk for reoffense. Outrageous is hardly the word for it. This judge needs to be removed from his position immediately. I wouldn't be surprised if this offender isn't around much longer. He doesn't deserve it.
Not sure, bet he needs to be removed ASAP before he screws up again.
The evidence must have been overwhelming. In Vermont, 60 days in jail suggests a pretty serious crime. I surely hope there aren't more judges in Vermont this harsh, and something can be done about this on appeal! It will be appealed? Right?
This judge needs to be throw off the bench. This is outrageous. My heart goes out to that poor girl who will have to live in fear every day because this monster is out on the streets. 15 days in prison for every year he raped her. Horrible.

Sadly, the next civil rights 'frontier' for some Libs is to decriminalize pedophilia.
