Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Cashman lengthens sentence for child rapist
Here’s update to this story, where a Judge in Vermont sentenced an admitted child rapist to a mere 60 days in prison:
BURLINGTON, Vt. – A judge who was widely vilified after sentencing a man to just 60 days in jail for sexually abusing a child said Thursday he would increase that sentence to at least three years.
Judge Edward Cashman said he felt he could impose the longer sentence now because the state had agreed to provide treatment to the man while he is behind bars.
Originally, the state had said such treatment would not come until after the man had served his time.
Mark Hulett, 34, had pleaded guilty to charges that he had sexual contact with a girl during a four-year period beginning when she was 6.
At the original sentencing, Cashman said the best way to ensure public safety was to get Hulett out of prison so he could receive sex offender treatment. Because the Corrections Department concluded that Hulett wasn’t likely to reoffend, he wouldn’t be eligible to receive sex-offender treatment until he reached the end of his jail term.
It’s not much, but it’s better than 60 days.

In any crime against another person I believe the criminal should receive the same thing they did to their victim whether it is rape or murder. In this case where there is sexual abuse of a child and it is proven that rehabilitation doesn’t really work. So since this guy took four years away from this little girl a slow death would be too good for him. Just one bullet between the eyes would save the tax payers a lot of money in rehab and court costs and a guarantee that he will not do it again.
Has there ever been a rapist or a pedophile cured?
Do they really think they can ‘cure’ this person?
Jim, just put the guy in the general prison population and follow the law to notify the neighborhood a sexual predator has moved in. Problem will be solved shortly with no taxpayer dollars expended.
PCD,
Take your medication! Now!
Tommy, won’t get a day. Show me where in the law that a prisoner NEEDS to be segregated from the general prison population?
Why doesn’t the notifications laws for sexual predators not apply to prisons?
tommy, you only semi get it. Again, where is it written in the law you can segregate a prisoner who has not committed an infraction? You know as well as I do that the prisons can’t keep the young kids safe from the older cons because they can’t be segregated from them.
PCD got it right …. problem solved. And his next victim spared.
- Aside from being a thinly disguised comprimise to try to save his job, the judge is still playing “Liberal”. When all this started he made the comment on camera that he doesn’t think punishment works. This from a man sworn to uphold the laws and act accordingly. He should be removed, period. Be interesting to see how O’Reilly reacts to this this afternoon….
- Bang
Interesting indeed Big Bang.
O’Reilly is the only reason this judge was forced into reconsidered his ruling. He has been all over this one judge for days. Proof that Mr.O has even more influence than I thought.
I have not yet decided if that is a good thing.
But this works for me. Justice will not be served until this guy is removed from the bench for good. And there are many more like him.
The MSM is so busy pushing anti-Bush propaganda it ignores the moral corruption within our judicial system that appears to be run by extreme left wing judges who have little concern for true justice and retrobution.
Is this the same judicial system that Bush is bound by law to go and seek permission from to conduct a successful war on terrorism?
Individual liberties? My a**
steve?
The judge got what he wanted(treatment) and you bloodyhirsty warmongers got what you wanted(retribution), so everybody wins. Peace
Well actuall guys, the criminals are labeled when they come in. It is no secret who is in for what based on the block one is assigned to.
That being said…I’ll take this sentence over 60 days. Even if that judge was trying to get the guy rehabilitation..tell me who is rehabilitated in 60 days?

No, Steve, you got it wrong. The judge did indeed get what he wanted, but it wasn’t treatment for the offender. Rather, it was a fig leaf to let him save face and increase the sentence to save his worthless job. He still needs to go, because a judge without judgement is worthless.
I’m still trying to figure out how a child rapist would be considered for a maximum of ten years.
Dana- well said
Your sentance would be? Peace
“Your sentance would be?”
Life in prison with no possibility of parole and a lifetime supply of forcing him to read your replies here at this blog?
