Judge Gary F. McKinley, shown here during the trial in March, told Dailyn Campbell, "I’m cutting you somewhat of a break here, and the court will get criticized for this," during Campbell's sentencing hearing yesterday for vehicular vandalism that left a man physically disabled and his friend brain-damaged.
Justice delayed is justice denied...but not during football season...
Two teenagers who pulled a stunt last winter that left a man physically disabled and his friend brain-damaged will each spend 60 days in juvenile detention, but not before they finish the upcoming high-school football season.
Well...it is Columbus.
Dumbbutt judge. Football is a game. Life is real.
Ship the little buttheads off to the slammer.
And the judge still cut him slack? Ya know, it may not work, but the locals should push hard for an impeachment attempt. The judges supposed handwringing does not mitigate a ridiculous decision.
Just win, baby.
When I saw the title, I could have sworn this would be in Texas or Alabama.
I'm sure its not the first lesson these two have gotten in "the privileged life of a jock" genre.
Good point, they've got a long history of looking the other way up there in OSU country.
The judge is obviously an idiot, but what about a school district that would still allow these cretins to play football?
Randy Moss High School ?
Wait a sec while I pick my chin up from the floor......
The judge knew his decision was bad when he said he would be criticized.
If I was in the courtroom, I would have said something and then found in contempt. I would have wanted to see how my punishment for contempt would have compared to what these two football players got.
Sad to say since I'm not big on lawsuits, but I hope the victims families are suing the football players families.
Football IS a relgion and the stadium IS the church.
No surprise here.
The judge must have thought that the sentence would have punished the innocent team members and fans of the football team by not allowing him to play. This may have wrecked their season if he wasn't able to play if needed.
If there was true cosmic justice the little thugs would be crippled during the games they were let off to play. As for brain damage it appears they already are...
And the judge is GOD.
This is the sort of thing I'd have expected to see in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida or California - the hard-core football states.
