He had a chance to give his reasons at sentencing and I am not sure the Supreme Court can even take his comments into account in considering the cert petition. But, I am glad the judge had the C .. I mean the B ... I mean the guts to say what he said. It's axiomatic that a court of appeals is not supposed to substitute its judgment for that of the lower court when reviewing someting within the lower court's discretion. The reality is that the 11th Circuit will often substitute its judgment when it does not like the result. Nobody likes child molestors, the question is whether we are willing to dillute our wonderful system of justice and the process that is due all to satisfy our viseral desire to get our pound of flesh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-80355624115973587902010-10-26T14:07:41.798-04:002010-10-26T14:07:41.798-04:00I wonder what the Professor/Guest Blogger thinks a...I wonder what the Professor/Guest Blogger thinks about this.

The district judge says: "the Circuit C...Wow!! The district judge says: "the Circuit Court either misconstrued or exaggerated my comments, or took them out of context, considered numerous facts and arguments never presented to me, and concluded that there were no mitigating circumstances to justify any sentence other than the 30-year guideline sentence." I've been dying to say things like that to the 11th Circuit's face for years, but mere lawyers would never get away with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
