I was among many people shocked and outraged by the lenient sentence — 30 days! — handed down to Rand Paul's next-door neighbor, Rene Boucher, by U.S. District Court judge Marianne Battani, "a special judge called in from Michigan."
Recall that Senator Paul was gravely injured by Boucher, requiring hospitalization several times, and now, two years after the incident, he had to be hospitalized again to have part of his lung removed. In addition, he has suffered extreme pain for an extended period.
Judge Battani was appointed to the federal bench by Bill Clinton.

I had a guy in OC run out on a restaurant check. When we went to confront him he hit me with his car, flipping me onto the hood. He drove 3 blocks with the gas to the floor and then slammed on the brakes doing 55-60mph. I flew off and hit the street and he ran over my arm. He was on video in the restaurant, we got his tag #, a person who was in the car cooperated with police. When he slammed on his brakes I was holding his windshield wiper and it came off the car. When the cops located him he was still missing the windshield wiper. Open shut case. He was offered a plea and spend 8 days in jail that he served on the weekends. The criminal justice system is a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe punishment and sentences anymore do not fit the crime. You would spend more time in jail for catching too many rockfish out of season, it happened to an inmate right down ECI. Rapists and murderers never get harsh sentences. An ex inmate @ ECI only got 4 years for rape of a child, got out and lives in a Church Parsonage to this date. And the father of the rapist and Minister got the ex inmate disability. Just you try to go out and try to get disability for an injury at a job, fall etc and see what you get. Their is no justice system and the agencies we depend on don't do their jobs. It's now the American Way.
