The judge who was paid send kids to detention facilities rather than the more appropriate fines, probation, or community service has been sentenced to 28 years in prison.
He got a little over $1 million and sent 5,000 kids to the facilities. 4,000 of those kids’ records have been cleared, but they will never get the time back.
I dunno if it’s a good start – there are so very many judges. But it certainly is surprising.
He should have gotten life. I hope he gets met by his victims when he gets out and they have a trailer load of tar and feathers. He deserves real punishment.
28 years?
TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS?!?!?!?!
That’s it?
This bastard should have gone down for one count of kidnapping for EACH OF THEM!!!
This guy was nothing short of a slave trader. I agree with Cormac when he says that he ought to have been charged with ~4,000 counts of kidnapping. Nevertheless I am happy that he is in jail.
It sucks hes like 61 though, he’ll probably only serve a fraction of that.
