Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

The Knucklehead of the Day Carnival Part Four

Our fourth winner today is Nebraska Judge Kristine Cecava. She gets the award for giving 10 years probation to a man who sexually assaulted a child. Why? The man is too short to survive in prison.

Another absolute nut sitting on the bench in this country. The judge's sympathy is misplaced for how about all the children she is endangering by allowing this man to stay free. Just another reason why the American public is losing confidence in our justice system. A revolution may come one day because of one Knucklehead too many like Judge CeCava.

For putting one person's well being over the public saftey of many, Judge Kristine Cecava is our fourth Knucklehead of the day.

SIDNEY, Neb. - A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead.

His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

"You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child," she said.

But, she said, "That doesn't make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category."

Thompson will be electronically monitored the first four months of his probation, and he was told to never be alone with someone under age 18 or date or live with a woman whose children were under 18. Cecava also ordered Thompson to get rid of his pornography.

He faces 30 days of jail each year of his probation unless he follows its conditions closely.

"I want control of you until I know you have integrated change into your life," the judge told Thompson. "I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced."
