This scumbag ex-cop molests a 3 yr old girl. The girl is taken to a hospital where a dr and a nurse find and collect evidence that the girl has been molested. Deputies drive out to scumbags house and find him burning clothes the girl was wearing.
At the trial none of the investigators or medical people testified. Judge decides the now 4 year old girls description of her molestation isn't good enough for him. This idiot of a judge then lets the scumbag go and arrests the victims dad for yelling obscenities in the courtroom. Sentences him to 1 year total.
WTF.

Maybe we ought to change the phrase "liberty and justice for all" to "liberty and justice is possible but not likely in some cases but really depends on being rich or having a crazy judge"
Maybe we can get one of OUR courts to sentence a 4 year old to LWOP.
Justice is Blind and sometimes lacks common sense too. Some judges are out there FAR out there and they defy logic. The evidence seemed to be there from what I read.
So what is the next step? Will that dirtbag face vigilante justice before he can molest another child?

The trial has not happened yet. It is scheduled for March 11, 2016. This was not a trial, it was a competency hearing (which is why the medical experts did not testify since they have nothing to contribute in judging the little girl's compentcy to know right from wrong, though the investigators and plenty of other experts did testify).
The judge suspended the sentence against father. The father will not be jailed or "imprisoned".
Basically nothing you wrote in your title actually happened.
Why did they put a 4 yr old on the stand to testify? This little girl has had so many adults fail her.
You have to because of the defendant's sixth amendment rights. (Though this was a compentcy hearing to decide if her testimony could be used as trial, not a criminal hearing.) Once e competency hearing went against her, the defendant's sixth amendment rights basically required dismissing the original charges and replacing them with a different charge not based on her testimony (and she will not be testifying at trial now).

lol
In fairness to the OP the articles he linked did say the father was jailed and charges dropped.

My bad for saying it was a trial, I knew from reading it was a pre-trial hearing.
The judge did jail the father.
The judge did drop both charges.
I missed the part where the judge ordered him to stand trial for the lessor charge of molestation. What a stand up judge.
Judge released the father after 1 night in jail after the father apologized and begged for mercy.
How did this clown become a judge.

There is plenty of precedent for having a child this young video tape the testimony or testify via live closed circuit tv without sitting in front of the person who raped her. Any competent judge would have taken this route and not let this scumbag get off of charges by intimidating a kid.
An incompetent judge dismissed the original charges and replaced them with a different and also a lessor charge.
