		<description>Perhaps it is time to start requiring judges to register as sex offenders when their official actions are determined to facilitate further abusive behavior.</description>

		<description>Maybe we should just give every alleged child molester who maintains their innocence probation in exchange for a guilty plea.  That should be a fantastic deterrent.

I'm with Loretta.  People don't plead guilty to crimes that will undoubtedly stain them for life if they are really innocent.  Three different children leveled the accusations against him.  Do you think that all three are just having fun at his expense?

As they say there are no guilty people in prison.  And with Judge Karen Hall on the job there is a reason for that - they'll all be on probation.

Bottom line: his supposed lack of faith in our criminal justice system does not mean that he should get off essentially scott free.</description>

		<description>Maybe that is why....but I have  hard time believing anyone would plead guilty to this type of crime if they were innocent. I know all about plea deals and why people take them but this type of crime....I just don't buy it. I personally would have fought tooth and nail before a jury if I were innocent....but maybe that's just me.</description>

		<description>He never admitted to anything.  Here's a quote:

Jeanie asked Love, "Why did you plead guilty?"

He responded, "Because it was a plea deal and it was a choice.  My attorney said the odds of getting a fair trial by jury here was going to be very little.  Once it came between and adult and children I had little or no chance."</description>
