"Stiff" sentencing guidelines?
Via an email I received while I was away, here's a news item which falls into the man-bites-dog category: BRISTOW, Okla. (Aug. 8) - Former Oklahoma judge Donald Thompson was sent to prison for four years Friday for exposing himself by using a sexual device while presiding over jury trials.The sentencing judge thought the allegations were too bizarre to have been made up: McCall, who usually sits on the bench in Comanche County, said he did not believe the accusations against Thompson were fabricated, as Thompson had claimed.Absentminded or not, I didn't know you could get four years for penis pump squeezing. The judge is filing an appeal, but will he claim the law is an ass? UPDATE (08/24/06): Speaking of penis pumps, a Turkish man is in trouble for lying about one by saying it was a bomb: Madin Azad Amin was stopped by officials on Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.Amin is looking at three years in prison. Looks like penis pumps are becoming a threat to national security! posted by Eric on 08.21.06 at 10:31 AM |
