Too short for prison?

Skynut

And he is a child molester.
What could possibly be next?

SIDNEY, Neb. - A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead.

His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

"You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child," she said.

But, she said, "That doesn't make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category."

Thompson will be electronically monitored the first four months of his probation, and he was told to never be alone with someone under age 18 or date or live with a woman whose children were under 18. Cecava also ordered Thompson to get rid of his pornography.

He faces 30 days of jail each year of his probation unless he follows its conditions closely.

"I want control of you until I know you have integrated change into your life," the judge told Thompson. "I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced."

yeah, if if she loses her "bet" some other kid's life is ruined. I dont care if I sound like a Bill O'Reilly wannabe, but WTF dude?!?!?!? whn did pedophilia become so acceptable????

ohskigod

throw a set of platform shoes on the scumbag and lock him up!!!!

hell, shoot him up with roids and bulk him up for all I care
!

Zactly, I have no pity on anyone that has this kind of problem.

Demiurge

Too bad for him.

I was watching a show on Dateline NBC about child predators on the internet last night. They would catch guys coming from the web to have sex with underage kids as young as 13. Made me want to vomit...one guy showed up twice. To get to the point, one of the men arrested was a midget or 'little person' as they liked to be called. They showed him in the striped back jump suit back in jail, so this is weird....

Can't imagine why someone has much concern for a damn child molestor. He deserves what he gets.

Strong Bad

Ya do the crime, ya do the time. Stupid goddam legal system! Too short...thats his tough f***ing luck! He had no regard for the poor child he molested.

This sends a real good message.

District Judge Kristine Cecava is a dumbass. If she thinks that a 50-year old pedophile is going to change his ways because he got caught once, she should be fired. I'm guessing she doesn't have any children.

If he does this again, she in some way should be held accountable!

They need to throw her in jail when this piece of garbage molests another child!

In Nebraska no less. I expected this story to be out of San Fransisco or some other bleeding heart district.

I have never been to a jail that had a sign that read..

If your not at least this tall ...... you can`t come in..


I say kneecap the POS and lock him in his dwelling so he can`t leave..

If he does...shoot him...

cfrizz

Hopefully someone who actually believes in justice, (unlike this stupid judge) or at the very least protecting children will kill this SOB someday when he strolls out of his house!

More like "If you're not this tall Brutus can't ride you."

What's this world coming to. She'd lock up someone for ten years for having a bag of pot, but let this creep go because he's too short?????? I wonder if she has children??? Put his **** in solitairy confinement for his stint.

Or at least chemically castrate him while he's under probation.

ohskigod

the lack of a sence of justice in this case is what disturbs me. Judge prattles on about the offender, but not one word about the victim, or how he/she is going to feel. Some say harsh punishment has no benefit for the victim. whoever came up with that load of shite deserved to have there schfincter sewn shut. someone hurts me, and I feel bad. someone hurts me, and no one feels he should be punished/held accountable, makes me feel ALOT worse. I dont think I'm an exception to the rule here.

ledhed

If he is too short then put him in juvie. I guarantee you if he tried something there one of the kids would beat his ****.

And what about the 13 year olds who commit extremely heinous crimes who are then tried as an adult? Don't they go to prison too?

I guarantee the electric chair doesn't have height limitations.

Unbelievable...just plain unbelievable.

Shizelbs

Look at it this way, he won't have to literally get on his knees. I see it as an advantage.

Demiurge

haha

beardog03

maybe the Judge should be made to live with this sicko for a year

danger boy

probation isn't even a sentence in my opinion. it's like denention in school...

wow. I can't believe that judge would do that. Given the high degree to reoffend.. her **** is toast if he does show up again in court for the same offense. Absolutely stupid judge.

Where's a real life Dirty Harry when ya need one. Hopefully whatever neighborhood he moves to will "Take care of him" before he gets back to his old ways.

Get on with your bad self!!!:D

cfrizz

One more point to make. For those of you who said that she must not have any children: This has nothing whatsoever with whether or not she is a mother.

I don't have any children & I know this **** should rot in prison & become real good friends with Bubba!

This is about common sense, at the very least, & doing research on pedophiles & their tendancy to reoffend at the very most!

This judge should be impeached & removed from office!

Life's a **** when you do bad things. What the hell is this country becoming?
