Full & Middle Stain always absent in threads like this. Until a Brave one chimes in to open feeding frenzy.

We still got one from Dont Taz above implying CA vote is not corrupted as it always does. So sad, so slimy so untrue. At least 4 million illegals in CA off/on depending.

Well it's just true. Always seems to be some weird looking, short haired white woman wearing those same goofy looking glasses. They always look like Rachel Maddow. lol...

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Except that what they voted for can still cross state lines.

Can, but unlikely.

Do not expect justice in a Blue State. Who will this felon attack next?

You are angry at the wrong person...this was the juries fault in not finding him guilty of murder. 8 years was the max allowed for involuntary manslaughter. As he had served almost 5 years in the county jail fighting his case, he received time-served and was released to serve his Probation/parole part of the sentence--nothing really the judge could do...the charge did not carry enough time to slam him.

Couldn't she have gave him the full 8?

Thats messed up.

She did...but there are statutory time cuts. So an 8 year sentence is reduced by 1/3...thus...time served and release.

Tell that to the dead man's family.

"I didn't get justice for my father and justice for my family," Ratanapakdee's daughter Monthanus said.

The family was especially critical of Colfax. They said she unfairly kept some details of Watson's prior juvenile record from the jury but considered his successful completion of juvenile probation in her sentencing decision.

"The judge already had in mind what she was going to do, in my opinion," Eric Lawson, Ratanapakdee's son-in-law, said. "And they just carried it out. Her and the defense worked very well together."

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins met with Ratanapakdee's family after the hearing. She also was not happy with the decision.

"Right now, first and foremost, want to speak to this family and the community who I know have been gut-wrenched by Grandpa Vicha's death and have felt that this process, one, took too long and to get to this date today and to understand that Mr. Watson is going to be released is hard to digest," Jenkins said. "From my office's standpoint, this is not what we wanted. This is not what we believe was justice."

I knew a public prosecutor who used to intone the thought that “felons go to prison.”

Quaint.

By the way, our President’s bogus conviction (from the Bragg persecution) will be reversed and the case will be dismissed, eventually.

That’s a fair l-minded defense of the judge, imho.
