On March 18, 1983, Judge Charles Kaufman sentenced Ebens and Nitz to three years' probation and a $3,000 fine,

I remember the news coverage of the beating and death but I never heard about the trial and subsequent probation. That was a travesty of justice.

I would love to see a follow-up report done by a local TV news group on where these murderers are today and what they are doing.......

n a response letter to protests from American Citizens for Justice, Kaufman said, "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal

After all, all they did was beat a man to death with a baseball bat. [/sarc]
