Let me get this straight: he got a 9 year sentence for assaulting a woman AFTER he was convicted of kidnapping and rape years earlier? Whoever that second (or first!) sentencing judge was, he or she needs to be removed from the bench. And should this creep be convicted this time, let's all hope he gets to spend the rest of his life behind bars. It's poor sentencing decisions like this that make citizens so mad they enact dumb laws like 3-strikes-and-you're-out. In this case, I'd be in favor of three-strikes-and-you're-a-eunuch.
