John Kennedy Confronts Judicial Nominee For Giving Light Sentence To Man Who Committed Heinous Crime

[@richardgeorge3136]

He has a way of asking the right questions..need more people like Senator Kennedy.

[@patpending8134]

Yes, but tro what end. I've been binge=watching these clips of late. The common theme seems to be that the senators have very little time and at the end of their time, that's it - they move on to the next senator. Nothing seems to come of their questions. The the KZbin comments are filled with "Send [the nominee] to Jail" remarks. It all seems pointless.

I mean, lets be fair. If it was a negotiated sentencing the likelihood of it is that the judge had probably little choice in the matter. Even though the judge has the jurisdiction to deny the plea deal, the real fault lies in the prosecutor, who either had a weak case in front of a jury and felt the need to bring the plea deal forward in order to secure a conviction or the prosecutor just did not care enough.

The nominee said that the prosecutor told her the government could lose at trial due to problems with the evidence. The judge was left with two bad choices: 1. Accept the plea bargain and give a light sentence for a heinous crime or 2. Reject the plea deal and have the government proceed to trial, risking a finding of not guilty (and thus no punishment at all), if the evidentiary problems caused the case to collapse. It is a terrible situation to be in with no good answer.
