Man who groped nursing home patient is sentenced

[Kamd50]

From the Independent:
"A Canton man has been sentenced to 17 months in prison for having inappropriate contact with a nursing home patient.
Larry W. Hammond, 62, , also was classified as a tier 1 sex offender Monday by Judge Richard Reinbold. He will be required to register his address with authorities annually for 15 years. Hammond will be eligible to apply for judicial release in 30 days. Upon his release from prison, Hammond must serve four years probation.
Hammond pleaded guilty last month to one count of gross sexual imposition, a fourth-degree felony.
Court records show Hammond groped an 84-year-old patient at Hanover House, 435 Avis Ave. N.W., on Nov. 15. The patient was confined to a wheelchair, according to court records."

Will someone please tell me what the heck "jucicial release" is? The perv gets sentenced to 17 months but only has to serve 30 days of it? I don't get this kind of crap:mad:

Kamd50,

My mother would be angry to even see or read something like that! How could anyone do something like that :puke:?

In Cincinnati five years ago, a 70-year-old store manager forced two teenage girls to have sex with him in a store and he pleaded guilty and got only (brace yourself)......30 days in jail. He was allowed to work at his store afterwards but could not have contact with teenage women.

Sickening.........

Because this was a 4th degree felony, with no mandatory prison term, he can file for judicial release after 30 days. The court will then either deny the motion outright, or they will hold a hearing within 60 days after he files to determine if he qualifies for judicial release. I think the court looks at a bunch of different factors before a decision is made.

In short, he would be asking the court to reduce his sentence for whatever reasons he might come up with.

Does that help? I say keep him locked up for the whoel 17 months!

Isn't judicial release a fancy term for probation?
