Oppose the Judges

Judges Push Pity For Offenders, Let Child Molesters Go Free

We have a very serious problem in our country, and it is growing. Judges in three states are denying justice to victims and pushing pity for the offenders. I'm sure you are aware of the story out of Vermont in which Judge Edward Cashman sentenced Mark Hulett, 34, who sexually abused a girl for four years—from age 6 until age 10—to only 60 days in jail for his crime. The judge said that Hulett needed help, not jail time. Click here for story. Now two similar incidents have surfaced. In Wisconsin, Judge Alan Bates sentenced Gary Hoff, 44-year-old former choir instructor for the Parkview School District in Orfordville, Wisconsin, to pay a $1,000 fine and serve 30 hours of community service for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy. Click here for story. In Massachusetts, Judge Suzanne V. Delvecchio sentenced Gregory Pathiakis, 26, to a suspended 2 1/2 year jail term followed by five years probation. Pathiakis pleaded guilty to one count of rape of a child, enticement of a child under 16, five counts of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of harmful material to a child. Judge Delvecchio was honored in 2000 as the keynote speaker at the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Bar Association's annual dinner. Click here for story. These judges consider pity for the offender more important than justice for the victim. This kind of growing judicial activism must be opposed, and opposed now. Please send your email to the governors of these three states demanding justice for the victims. If we fail to speak out now, more innocent children will suffer and injustice will continue to grow.

Go girl - keep posting this kind of info, and get yourself on other people's blogs so they can link back to you. We have similar problems with the judiciary here, as they do in most western countries these days. What the f... is wrong with people in the last 20 years?
