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.
