Sex offender sentencing puts judge on hot seat [Judge: Whenever I drink, I break out in handcuffs]

Plain Dealer ^ | Friday, March 17, 2006 | T.C. Brown

[Diago]

Selva, 46, was initially indicted on 20 counts of rape for sexually assaulting two boys for more than three years. A different judge dismissed that indictment in 2004 because of errors. Prosecutors, instead of seeking a new indictment, opted for a plea agreement.

Probation? I am not kidding when I say this guy should have gotten the death penalty.

[ImpotentRage]

I think every child molester should be given the death penalty. They kill as surely as someone who stops a person from breathing. I truly do not think there is a worse crime.

[QQQQ]

And judge should get at least 10 years in jail!

[martin_fierro]

That would be Hizzoner there on the right.

"host Bill O'Reilly fanning the flames of outrage."

So bringing the despicable ruling of this judge to light is "fanning the flames of outrage" hmmmmm.

[socialismisinsidious]

"Psychologists testified that Selva was making progress in counseling and that it was not likely he would reoffend."

Sure, where have I heard that before.

Why does it not surprise me that the judge (using term loosely) is a coke head, alcoholic.....

ping!

[coconutt2000]

The judge is one of those that believes that commission of a crime is merely the first step toward rehabilitation.

Punishment and justice don't fit into the picture anywhere in his judicial philosophy.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

All pedophiles, child molesters, child rapists and child murderers should be executed. Zero recividism.

Here is Judge's side of story set forth in a letter to editor of his local paper. Seems like the Prosecutor cooked up the "deal" and then went crying that Judge was too soft:

...conservative cable TV host Bill O'Reilly...

There is a conservative TV Host named Bill O'Reilly?

[Las Vegas Dave]

Pinging NE Ohio!

Here's a picture of another politically connected scumbag that liked boys. He started with molesting and then took to killing his victims.

"I think I did protect the public and I did fulfill my duties in that respect," Connor said. "People screaming for jail are misguided. I guess it's revenge."

Connor was publicly reprimanded in 1984 when he was a lawyer after a drunken-driving arrest and a cocaine possession charge.

Connor was also arrested and convicted of drunken driving in 1999 and again in 2002, for which the Ohio Supreme Court put aside a suspension of his law license

"Whenever I drink, I break out in handcuffs," Byrne quoted Connor as saying.

So this creep can't comprehend justice, openly defies the law in his own conduct and then publicly mocks the law. How in God's name did this clown get onto the bench?

I'm beginning to think the justice system is rife with these pretenders.

[pop-gun]

Psychologists testified that Selva was making progress...

Physychologist = people who don't have the brains for a worthy education.

[hellinahandcart]

Connor said it is unbelievable that the legislature would try to remove him for a ruling. "Every judge in the state should be worried and scared if they are able to do that," Connor said.

Every judge on the country should be worried and scared, and of much worse than impeachment.

When people no longer believe they'll find justice in the courts, they'll get it for themselves. And judges are no more special than the rest of us.

There was no justice for the victims. That is his fault. He has to pay.

[Wage Slave]

Is that Roslyn Carter with him?

[exzoomie]

These judges that let out these maggots ought to be given the same penalities these sex offendors get when another repeat crime is committed. And death would be an appropriate penality for this turd.

[USNBandit]

Yep. (It's one of my favorite pictures when the Democrats start talking about pictures of GWB with Abramoff, etc)

NO, JUDGE, it's called "penalty," "the price you pay," "why there are laws..." The people aren't misguided. You're seriously out of line when you don't punish sexual offenders. Earn your pay or step aside.
