  1. "Apparently not one single media outlet covered the sentencing. . ."
    That's because the media outlets are busy praising and endorsing the legislators whose actions perpetuate this type of behavior.

  2. Could be because the Montgomery County state's attorney's office makes absolutely no effort to inform media of upcoming significant sentencings/ trials and hasn't written a press release since 2011

    1. The sentencing date was posted on the Parents' Coalition site and the media had ample notice of this event.

  3. Based on the court sentencing, if a felony gets you one year then a misdemeanor would probably get you at most a month.

  4. He is being moved to a work release program after less than a month! This is ridiculous.We need to write the states attorney and judge. How do you get 20 years and out in less than a month? All these offenders need to punished at a much higher level.

    1. It's really quite simple. Our part-time legislature is composed of full-time criminal defense attorneys who insert loopholes into the laws in order to get their clients off the hook easily and ensure gainful employment. The only way this may cease is if they had an immediate member of their family victimized.

  5. He must have connections in high places . . .
