It may have been because the judge disagreed with the verdict the jury returned and this was the judge's way to punish him a little instead of just letting him walk away scot free.

I tried to google up more background on the case, but can't find anything except this story. It would be interesting to see what it was really about. While I generally respect jury verdicts, juries have been known to acquit a person against overwhelming evidence (O.J. Simpson) just because they didn't like the law/cops/judge etc. Of course, many folks have been bad-rapped by false witnesses and overzealous prosecutors on "child abuse" charges.

Be curious to know if the victim was actually abused by someone, or if this is just a case of a parent spanking a kid and being charged.
