Judge: Sex Predator Too Short For Prison

A Nebraska judge gave a convicted sex offender 10 years probation rather then the 10 years prison he was facing because the judge said he was too short to survive in prison. The convict, at 5' 1", was convicted of sexually assaulting a 12 year old over a period of months. Prison officials dispute the notion that he is too short & stated that they have prisoners even shorter.

We think the judge, a female by the way, is an idiot. So now all short bank robbers, short car thieves & short Congressmen will escape prison. Nice message the idiot judge sends out.

We think the public is being short-changed by this decision & we hope the judge is a short-termer. Is there something in the water, folks, that keeps making supposedly intelligent people come up with nutty ideas?
