I sent this off to Bill O'Reilly's producer this morning.

A Nebraska judge has sentenced a man who was convicted of sexually assaulting a child to 10 years of probation instead of prison time, because she thought that the offender, at 5-foot-1, was too small to survive behind bars. District Judge Kristine Cecava said 50-year-old Richard W. Thompson deserved a long sentence, but he'd be put at special risk in prison because of his size. She said, "You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child." But, she said, "That doesn't make you a hunter. You do not fit into that category." There were several conditions put on Thompson's probation, and he faces 30 days of jail each year of his probation unless he follows them closely. Judge Cecava told him, "I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced."
