Judge Dowd's reasoning is flawed, and he is therefore mentally and morally unfit to remain on the Shawnee County bench. A 14-year-old girl repeated raped and sodomized has suffered permanent, severe damage. There is no reasonable chance that this dangerous predator will be rehabilitated and no longer a threat to our children.
The Kansas Court of appeals must overturn this sentence (or instead impose 13 years involuntary confinement in a mental institution) and Judge Dowd must be impeached.

Michael - Hang in there! There are many willing to help!
My experience with a somewhat similar event is to keep busy. And DO NOT GIVE UP!
There is something smelly about this judge and perp relationship!... Find it! But, be careful - some/most of these people are quite vicious!
Holding a job has nothing to do with whether the perp committed the crime or not and whether he will repeat or not. The judge(?)knows this! And, he set up a cover for his lenient sentence that he wanted and did apply.
For the good of society hang in there!
I think we can get this judge out of office - either thru malfeasance or when he is up for a vote. We must not forget!

Another reason to be sure we do not get them in office for life!!!
