BY LESLIE REED
WORLD-HERALD BUREAU

LINCOLN — Cheyenne County District Court Judge Kristine Cecava of Sidney, Neb., who touched off a national debate by sentencing a 5-foot-1, 100-pound child molester to probation, has been voted off the bench.
Cecava is the eighth judge to be removed by voters since Nebraska adopted its judicial selection plan in the early 1960s.

She sparked controversy in 2006 when she sentenced Richard Thompson to 10 years of intensive supervised probation and commented that she feared for his safety in prison because of his size.

Court staff said Cecava was presiding over a trial Wednesday and could not be reached for comment.

In Nebraska, the governor appoints judges, but voters periodically consider whether they should be retained in office. Cecava was turned out Tuesday by a 52 percent to 48 percent vote..............

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) - A judge criticized for sentencing a 5-foot-1 sex offender to probation has been voted out of office.

About 63% of the voters in Cheyenne County District Judge Kristine Cecava's jurisdiction agreed she should be removed from office.

Cecava's 2006 sentence of Richard Thompson prompted local and national criticism because she cited Thompson's height when sentencing him to 10 years of probation for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.

Thompson could have been sentenced to 10 years in prison..............

'Flight Risk' and 'Dangerous' -- But Judge Loosens Bail For CEO"

By Jonathan Dienst

NEW YORK -- Just days after a convicted CEO faked his own death and fled to avoid prison, a federal judge on Long Island reduced bail conditions for a separate CEO accused of a massive fraud even though prosecutors maintain he is a "flight risk" and "dangerous."Judge Joanna Seybert reduced restrictive bail conditions for David Brooks, who ran DHB Industries -- a company that sold bulletproof vests to the military.Brooks is accused of looting funds and committing securities fraud to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Prosecutors said he then funneled his ill-gotten gains to accounts overseas. Even though Seybert called Brooks a "danger to the community" because of past threats he allegedly made, she agreed to loosen his home confinement. Her new order allows Brooks to leave his Manhattan home unescorted between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10 p.m.........

the mind boggles

a review of the case of the man who ASSAULTED A 13 YEAR OLD GRRRL leaves it at him NOT doing ANY jail time.

why? because HE'S TOO F**KING SHORT. oh there are other reasons. such as a study of this dude which says he is 'likely not' to reoffend. SO THE F**K WHAT? he assaulted a 13 year old grrrl. i'm not talking about a 13 year old grrrl and a 14 year old boy touching each other here. i'm talking about a GROWN man (no pun intended) and a 13 year old grrrl.

Appeals court upholds probation for 5-foot-1 sex offender

BY LESLIE REEDWORLD-HERALD BUREAU

LINCOLN — A three-judge Nebraska Court of Appeals panel Tuesday upheld the 10-year intensive probation sentence of a Sidney, Neb., man for molesting a 13-year-old girl.

In giving Richard Thompson probation rather than prison, District Judge Kristine Cecava had said she feared for Thompson's safety in prison because of his small stature. Thompson, 52, is 5-foot-1 and weighs about 100 pounds.Attorney General Jon Bruning had appealed that sentence as being excessively lenient.Bruning said he planned to ask the Nebraska Supreme Court to review the panel's ruling because he believes sexual assault of a child is a serious offense that warrants jail time."The law does not impose a height requirement for jail," Bruning said.In a 27-page opinion written by Judge Richard Sievers, the appeals court said Cecava's sentence was justified by many factors cited in Thompson's presentence investigation.Those factors included a psychological evaluation and a "Sexual Adjustment Inventory" administered by his probation officer. They indicated that Thompson is not a pedophile and is not likely to reoffend.............

this is a travesty of justice. i don't care if this man is not 'likely' to reoffend or not. HE WAS CONVICTED OF ASSAULTING A 13 YEAR OLD GRRRL. what, her life being f**ked up isn't worth a little jail time? guess not.
