Before I started this blog, there was a case in Vermont where Judge Cashman handed down a two-month prison sentence for a sex offender. The seemingly light sentence provoked a national outcry, but Judge Cashman doesn't regret his actions:
Cashman had been berated by lawmakers, editorial writers and national cable news commentators for imposing the minimum sentence on Mark Hulett, who had been convicted for repeated sexual assaults on a young girl. The judge said the short sentence was the best way to get Hulett the sex offender treatment he needed.
