Yes, the judge certainly DID sentence the admitted rapist-pedophile to 60 days. Although the story intones that the "10 years" part of the sentence doesn't get coverage, that part of the sentence is irrelevant because the plea deal limits jail time to 90 days. OF COURSE he'll be out in 60. The author wants to hype up the fact that the perp goes back to jail if he fails to seek "counseling" - - as if the perp might forget, or thumb his nose at the scumbag judge or something.
And yes, the judge certainly does say that he doesn't believe in punishment:
What Judge Cashman actually said was “I keep telling prosecutors, and they won’t hear me, that punishment is not enough.” The judge said that he had “started out as a just deserts sentencer,” but he had “discovered it [retribution] accomplishes nothing of value … doesn’t make anything better, . . . and costs us a lot of money.”
This liberal mouse, Will Hunter, can spin the story any way he wants on behalf of his Democrat Party - - complete with gratuitous swipes at Bill O'Reilly, Free Republic, and "the Sun Myung Moon-financed Washington Times" - - but the reality remains unchanged. The judge sentenced the confessed serial rapist of a little girl to 60 days in jail because he is more concerned that the perp get treatment than he is about the family getting justice.
Judge Edward Cashman is a despicable liberal scumbag who MUST be removed from his bench.

The truth hurts, so the libs twist the truth into a lie to suit their purposes.
Read my tag line.
The guy repeatedly molested a child. Why all the talking in circles by this judge? 20 to life, then bang the damn gavel, next case.
I think Will Hunter and his editors should spend 60 days in jail for writting this swill.
“More proof liberals do not care about children, although that’s what we keep hearing is the reason to take our money.”

heh heh... Some author quoted some freeper above. Reminds me of:
"The claim is that a particular perspective serves the general welfare. What is really served is a will to power."
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
The headline said that poor reporting caused all Cashman's problems. According to the story, that statement from Rep. Wright was the only thing that was inaccurate, but that happened well after all the other reports. The article spent most of the time bashing what it considers right wing radio and media. So did the Judge do what the reports said he did, or not?
