Two Dads Raped Their Daughters. Two Judges Gave Them Astonishingly Different Punishments

“I do not feel 25 years in prison is necessarily the best way for the defendant to pay for what he has done. The defendant made a horrible choice. He needs help – not to spend 25 years locked up.

Judge John McKeon of the Montana case has come under major fire for his 60 day sentence, but says he had every right to do it. He says as long as their relationship between father and daughter can be rehabilitated, there is no need for the recommended 25 years in prison. He says the policy “encourages and provides opportunities for an offender’s self-improvement, rehabilitation and reintegration back into a community." So Gross
