In 1994 Ann Aiken sentenced a battered woman to 20 years.   She violated her probation for Manslaughter II.   At the first hearing she discussed with a female DA putting the woman back on probation.   But at the sentencing a week later Ann Aiken gave the woman 20 years.   It was quite interesting that Ann Aiken was criticized in the newspaper during those two weeks for being too lenient for social crimes to be named a Federal Judge.   The woman did 8 of the 20 before she won a habeas corpus against the Oregon Parole Board for breaking their rules denying her parole three times.  There is a book coming out soon about this story.   So this man got 4 and a woman saving her children got 20.
