"If I believed sentencing Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting people, I'd give him the maximum sentence," Fleming said.

Another a$$-hole judge who just doesn't get it! You don't imprison people to try to get OTHERS to change their behavior, you imprison people to punish THEM and try to get THEM to change their behavior.

Bottom line: Sentencing Anthonty Abbate to prison would stop Anthony Abbate from getting drunk and hitting female bar-teners who are less than half his size. And THAT is all that matters.
