My understanding is that there was no hard evidence and the witness did not wish to testify, so this was a plea deal to make him confess and give the victim closure. Still feels wrong given that he did confess, but if the alternative was no probation I guess this is better than nothing.
Ritts says he understands why people are upset Jordan will spend fewer than a dozen weekends in jail calling it a “generous” sentencing.
“I’m disappointed, truly, that Shawn Jordan did not get the sentence that he deserved,” Ritts said.
But Ritts says both his prosecutor on the case, Kelly Wolford, and the judge, Kristina Karle, did what they could, adding the judge gave him the max under the plea agreement.
Karle could have rejected the agreement, he says, but she knew Jordan would never accept another that included prison time.
“Child sex offenders in prison and police officers in prison would compound those things and he knew exactly what he was facing if prison was in the works,” Ritts said.
Then don’t give him any plea deal? Wtf
Ritts says they were forced to negotiate because the case largely relied on the story of a child and that story did not come out until well after the crime.
DA: hey child rapists, pro tip - threaten your victims so they don’t report your rape immediately!

The best part is when asked if JD would be ready to go day one if needed, Trump said that VP doesn’t matter and people only care about the President. So which is it? Does the VP have no power and no real use, or do they have all this secret power to set policy and control the Justice Department?

First I read that as “10 weeks” and was incensed. Then I re-read it and I think it broke me.
We have a sickness in our justice system that seems to treat those who have been in service to society as less serious sexual offenders (ie, “but look at all the good they’ve done!”). The reality is that they are worse offenders, because in addition to the sexual assault, they are abusing their position.
Well the Justice Department is part of the Executive branch. I think the irony is that Project 2025 seeks to remove the independence of various government departments, likely including the DoJ, such that the Executive branch CAN be weaponized against political enemies.
