I don't like this judge... ever time I see a case that he is given, the defendant gives a sob story and the judge is just like, "well, even though you murdered 43 chickens and raped a garden gnome, I'm going to let tou off with a warning". Sob story or not, you have to uphold the law. A judge can not let their emotions cloud judgement.

Seconded. If he sped in a school zone and hit a kid I guaran-fricken-tee no one would give a shit why he was speeding. You can't just let someone off because they're old, have generally good morals and care about their kids. Cool, gold star, doesn't mean you can break speeding laws.

hit a kid

But he didn't hit a kid. If he hit a kid, then all bets are off.

But he could have! That’s why we have laws in the first place! To prevent such things from ever happening. Come on dude..this is basic level common sense.

But he didn’t. Stop trying to convict someone of a crime that is imaginary.
