Well, the judge now says she was quite prepared to reduce the charge, but was thwarted by the county prosecutor, Sherri Bevan Walsh, who has no explanation to rebut the court's claim. So we have two elected officials in a deadlock while many of us continue to wonder whether anyone has a notion about how justice is served. ( That much hasn't dissuaded some broadcast and print voices from checking in indignantly with their idea of upholding the law. They insist the law was broken - case closed with deserved punishment. The law, after all, is the law. Blah. Blah. Blah. )
Funny, but I haven't heard anyone deny that the law was broken. That's hardly at issue. The real issue is did the punishment fit the crime - in this instance, a felony record despite the reduction of the jail term from five years to 10 days with community service thrown in?
Surely, there's a fairer way to run a railroad. .

School vouchers anyone????????
It is time to bring the education system into the 21st century.
So you want the government to pay for your tuition at a private school. Oh the irony.
The mother and her father ignore notices from the school for two years. She didn't even try to cooperate with the school. 10 days in jail fits the crime. And would you want her to teach when she can't follow the school rules.
Father Sam stole a million bucks and got one day in jail.
Wouldn't expelling the child two years ago been a lot simpler ?
