This is punishment--how?
Sex criminal sentenced to needles
In June, a judge in Edinburgh, Texas, accepted a plea bargain in which Robert W. Thompson, 46, who had pleaded no contest to aggravated sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl, was sentenced to no jail time but 320 hours of community service, to be specifically spent knitting afghans. (The judge was sympathetic to Thompson's frail heart condition.)

Holy crap. The judge should have been sympathetic to the little girl's mental health instead!

A judgment like that makes me wonder if we need to worry about the Judge too!
