Good for them! I'd do the same thing - a jury of his peers found him guilty, and the judge in his "wisdom" (oh, I hesitate to use that word!) effectively dismisses what the jury decided. Why would any other good citizens give of their time to participate in the legal process to have their judgment of the case thrown out?
This guy has to go.

I think any attorney representing a defendent will ask to have a new judge appointed too now with all the publicity.

I would have done the same thing. I can't believe his blatant disregard for the facts in the case and what the prosecution asked. SIX years is too short.

Good. I had no idea you could do this as a juror and I think it's great. That sentence is despicable, and the judge should absolutely be ashamed of what he's allowed to happen. And yes, I am one of those who want to see this man lose his seat on the bench for this miscarriage of justice. I hope more people continue to serve in his courtroom. I think it sends an extremely powerful message.

I have signed 2 petitions to have the judge removed from his bench. One was on whitehouse.gov I think.

it would be nice to believe that people in powerful positions can be held accountable for their actions/decisions.
this young man certainly is not being held accountable.
