Mr O'Reilly misrepresented the facts regarding Judge Cashman's sentencing of a child molester here last year. How, because he only reported what suited him; which amounted to maximizing a sensational lie.

The fact of the matter is that Judge Cashman took a brave stand with the sentence, and forced a change due to a flaw in our system. What O'Reilly didn't tell you is that the offender, based on Vermont rule of law, as it stood at the time, the molester would have been released in a few months time because he would not have received sex offender treatment in jail because our legislature had not provided the funding. Thus, he would have had to have been released to a residential setting, in order to attend treatment organization. Thanks to the Judges intentionally eye catching sentence, which by the way was, if I recall correctly 2 months to ten years, our legislature has rectifiied the lack of funding. O'Reilly seemed to skip over the mention of the ten years too.

As Dale points out, O'Reilly does say some stuff I would agree with, but in my book Bill O'Reilly is the worst sort of human being, he's a sell out.

peaceably

Btw, if O'Reilly is for Jessica's Law, there must be something wrong with it. Too, there is a push to pass it in Vermont.
