Really? I hadn't heard that the verdict had been changed, 3 years is still nothing for repeatedly molesting a child but certainly better than the 60 days.
Last I heard he was refusing to change his verdict even if it "considerably shortened his career".
Perhaps someone suggested it might "considerable shorten his life." That might make someone think twice. :)

The judge sounds far too protective and sympathetic with this sexual predator for my comfort level; he's expected to represent society's interests in evaluating and assigning penalty and it looks like the judge perceives society as meaning "sexual predator who I have sympathy for." He's not representing society in this case (and how many others), he's representing his own bias.
