On October 25, 2006, California Judge Richard Oberholzer sentenced Jose Richard Leiva, 24, for the 2006 molestation of a 13 year old girl. Leiva had been convicted at jury trial of three counts of child molestation. At the time he committed these offenses, he was on misdemeanor probation for unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14 year old girl, which occurred less than 9 months earlier.
The Probation Department recommended a sentence of ten years. But Oberholzer imposed three years, the minimum possible prison sentence. He announced he was giving the defendant a more lenient sentence because he is an illegal alien. [Sentence for illegal immigrant questioned|Punishment doesn’t fit the severity of the crime, district attorney says, BY JESSICA LOGAN, Bakersfield Californian, Dec 14 2006]
Judge Oberholzer claimed that he didn’t want the taxpayers to have to pay for a lengthier incarceration and that the defendant would be deported sooner if he was given a shorter sentence. (Ironically, the defendant had been offered the shorter sentence but elected for an expensive trial, so Judge Oberholzer was in reality encouraging defendants to gamble on acquittal at taxpayer expense).
Unfortunately, this isn’t a joke.
