How many innocent people are sitting in jail now because he was too distracted to hear the case properly? I'm glad he's off the bench. The lives and freedom of people are just too important to be messing around with. He can go squeeze that pump all he wants to now!

It is in absolute contravention of judicial ethics and even human ethics. I also, however, believe that any "person" - and I am not sure I can define him as such - who commits such haneous acts must be "mentally ill." No one in their "right mind" could conduct themselves in such a manner. Yes, of course, he needs to be: 1) Punished; and 2) Never again be given the opportunity to harm others who are, even if criminals, people. However, continued degradation of this man is not going to solve his mental illness. We can all critisize his conduct, for it is truely the meaning of reprehensible. However, can any of us - now that he has been adjudicated guilty and forced to take responsibility for his dispicable misconduct - now suggest a way that he can rehabilitate himself not only for his own benefit but for the protection of our society from his potential recidivism? Can we, now that he has been dehumanized, suggest a re-humanization program? Or, is it just better to continue to degrade him? His conduct clearly did NOT serve societies interest. Reporting of his misconduct DID serve society's interest - to expose (no pun intended) his conduct for punishment and to ensure there would be no repetition. What societal benefit does lack of forgiveness (and to forgive is NOT to forget or to let him re-offend) and continued humiliation serve? I find everything this man did dispicable and destestable.
