I found several articles on this subject but this was the clearest explanation of Boucher's "privilege" and why it should not have been considered by the district court.

Early senility?

Aggravated assault because of a few leaves?

Bizarre.

He should be facing the max sentence on an attempted 2nd degree murder charge.

Looks like there are some federal judges that are sane and have some common sense.

Rene Boucher should go to prison for 10 years.

This was a vicious pre-meditated attack.

“A Kentucky jury in January awarded Paul over $580,000 in damages against Boucher.”

I don’t recall this part of the findings being in the news.

Occasionally I agree with Rand Paul’s positions on various topics and about the same amount of time I think he’s nuts.

That said, this clown coward that attacked him from behind got off too lightly. Period. In my opinion.

So glad to hear this. He’ll do 18-24 months in federal prison. Probably not PMITAP, but still federal prison.

Good. That sentence was ridiculous. He launched an unprovoked surprise attack on Rand Paul that caused serious injury. 30 days in the slammer was absurd. He needs to spend well over a year in prison.

So, a person of education, military service, and other considerations can commit crimes without punishment??

Gee, I guess we should all go out and rob banks.

Yeah - that well-educated part means he absolutely had no doubt that what he was doing was as wrong as one can get without actually killing someone...

I think it goes back to the same loon judge. She can simply say, “Ok, let’s make it 31 days”.
