Maybe a little too heavy for the lounge but ...

I'm trying hard to understand this story and if it's for real.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/25/judge.sentenced.ap/index.html

:wow:

Seriously ... a judge, using his judicial power to elicit sex in exchange for lighter sentences was convicted of rape and bribery and only sentenced to 3 YEARS! He'll probably be eligible for parol in 18 months?!?! Another reminder that stopping the abuse of women isn't top priority or even adequately punishable. I'm speechless.
