I will agree with said judge on one point. The prison system does little to reform anyone. BUT 60 DAYS MY @$$!!!!!!:cuss: This guy needs five years minimum for a first rape conviction, with an extra 5 for every year of hell he put her through, up to a maximum of 20 years. As much as anyone likes longer sentences, if you can't get right in 20 years, it won't happen.

Edit; If 20 doesn't cut it, hang'em, don't waste my tax money on a life sentence

This judge’s stupid actions are probably going to result in stricter sentencing guidelines with high mandatory minimums.

I wonder what type of sentences he hands out for armed robbery and murder.
 
I read something else into this slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor "sentence" for a serious felony. It sounds like corruption to me.
 
Not the first time this sort of thing has happened. Heck, in the old days judges would give minimal time to rapists on the theory that "boys will be boys." It's one of the main reasons mandatory sentences were established. This judge clearly has no business on the bench anymore.
 
I think you guys are missing one of the responsible parties here. Where was the mother for four years? You know the one that is so outraged all of a sudden. Having raised three kids I can't entertain the thought that she didn't know what was going on in her own home with her own child. :scrutiny:

Rope is cheap! :D
 
The judge said he no longer believes in punishment and is more concerned about rehabilitation.

Prosecutors argued that confessed child-rapist Mark Hulett, 34, of Williston deserved at least eight years behind bars for repeatedly raping a littler girl countless times starting when she was seven.

But Judge Edward Cashman disagreed explaining that he no longer believes that punishment works.

The silver lining is that this moron can be a poster-boy for how wrongheaded such ideas are.

Besides, what about locking the guy up simply to get him out of society -- that's the point of prison.
 
federal law has minimum guidelines, and a judge violating them would presumably by impeached/mandated to retire....

was this a state court?
 
Krenn, yes.

I can believe it. Given the right judge and circumstances, it can happen.

Many state DOC facilities do not provide treatment for offenders despite their proclamations to the contrary. I could foresee a defendant, perhaps one with mental development issues (i.e. retarded), who may not survive a long prison stint without steady, supervised counseling/therapy.

That said, for multiple incidents, I would anticipate a much longer sentence, however do not know all the details and I know the media leaves a lot out and reports many things incorrectly.
 
"Punishment is a valid purpose," Chittenden Deputy Prosecutor Nicole Andreson argued to Judge Edward Cashman.

+1 to the Deputy Prosecutor, with one exception. Eight years is not nearly enough punishment for what he did. How about eight years for each year of hell he put that little girl through?

Sorry. Prudence and paranoia prevent me from talking about what I'd consider truely appropriate at this point. let's just say that I think the judge should be taught a lot more about rehabilitation and punishment - a pracitcal demonstration would be in order.

If the problem started when the girl was seven and it says clearly that is lasted until she was ten then how in the hell do they figure that this lasted 4 years when they state plain as day that the dude did his business for four years?

Hmmm ... 7-8-9-10 ... I get four years - what are you trying to say?

It's extremely light sentences like this that lead to people taking the law in their own hands. That said, I'm not for vigilante justice, but were it my child, I would have a difficult time with this. If anyone has ever seen the movie, "A Time To Kill", you'll know where I'm going with this.
 
An eye for an eye...

Need I say more? Seems this judge is as out-of-touch as our other Dim-wit-ocrats and Re-puke-likans.

Neuter would be a good starting point, with a very dull chisel. Now people better understand why I say that if this happened to MY little girl--there would not be a trial.

Despicable....Unbelievable.... What a cruel joke on the family to give this guy a 60 day sentance.
However, that being said. I would highly caution against threatening the life of a sitting judge even off handed in a forum like this. Things like that will cause you far more trouble than the enterainment value it creates here.
As for justice. Have faith in God and know that nobody gets away with anything in the end unless they sincerely repent of their sins. God's justice is fair, final and terrible. He believes in punishment.

Out of political curiosity -

Does a complaint from out of state carry any weight at all with state court? I realize that they are political, but will they actually care what I would have to say from up here in the great midwest?

or is functionally disabled.

IMO - closest to the mark.

In any case, he needs to go......

... someplace. Yes. Anyplace but back into the courtroom to show yet another American family that the guy who hurt them so badly is far more important than they are.

Jackassed judge and rapist

This moron in a long black dress needs to get taken behind the woodshed by the lady with the blindfold and scales. What he meted out was a political stunt, not justice. In the case of a grown man raping a child, justice involves a burial after a violent death. I won't come right out andf say I'd condone vigilanteism, but it'd be hard to say anything against it if something comes of this in sixty days.
 
I agree with McCall... for that crazy a sentence, I'm thinkin' the judge is on the take from somebody ... or otherwise knows the family of the perp.

I just... wow... I have NO clue what to say...

My first (emotional) response is "GET A ROPE!!!". Problem there being, I'm not sure if it should be used on the perp or the judge... :banghead: :cuss:


I'm not sure I'd be able to control myself if I was in that courtroom...

I think the proper way to handle this with a rope is put the rapist at one end and the judge at the other and a pulley in between... Then drop the trap doors....

Well he certainly opened himself to a high degree of scrutiny now. I am sure people are all into looking into his background and any connections he may have with this piece of turd offender.
