Thomas Watch: Andy One Note Update

Apparently, there is still at least one rational judge in Maricopa County. Rather than putting away the crappy vegan mother for thirty years, the judge thinks that her sentence should be reduced. Here is the article. Here is a quote from the judge:

"The evidence at the trial showed that you acted in good faith in your belief that you were properly raising these children," O'Toole said before delivering the sentence. "You did not act with criminal intent. However, you did act recklessly in your grossly misguided sense of how to raise and properly nurture your children."

And this:

"There's no doubt you love your children," O'Toole said. "Unfortunately, they were at the mercy of your bizarre philosophy of diet and so forth."

And what does Andy think?

County Attorney Andrew Thomas said that his office would "strongly oppose any attempt to reduce this sentence."

"Thirty years in prison is entirely appropriate for a person who almost starved to death three defenseless children," Thomas said.

I find myself surprised sometimes when something sensible happens...
