" Look at what the defense attorney recommended!
What a joke! Some people just don't get it!
Sure, everyone has rights and are innocent until proven guilty but certain defense attorneys are known for their questionable tactics to prove a guilty person innocent! "

Why is no one asking that? You just condemn him. I'll bet most of you think you're Christians. "

" First of all, Alan- What part of hitting an elderly man off his bike and then stealing it, lacks violence?
But yes, the justice system never seems to give sentences in proportion to the crime. Example: One of the men responsible for beating the man to death at the bar in Readstown received 5 years in jail, I think?
Less than a year ago I remember a case of a group of at least 5 men in La Crosse accused of repeatedly gang raping an under age girl after forcing her to take drugs. 5 years each I think for them as well. Things never seem to be just or fair in the end. "

" Hopefully this will be the judge that resides over the Book trial! Killing an innocent newborn is worse than assaulting an older man. The poor baby never had a chance. "

" Wow, this guy hits ONE old man in the face with a gas can, steals his bike and gets 7 years in prison! Another guy robs TWENTY SEVEN people by charging them full price for a funeral, then hits every law-abiding,
tax-paying citizen right between the eyes for $55,000, with a Ink Pen, then, admits he his a felon, and gets 3 days in jail. GO FIGURE ???????
***He commited 3 Felonies*** "

" Hey Alan, take a look at this guys past.
1. Battery by Prisoners - The defendant agreed to be held responsible for and have the court consider the charge(s) when sentencing for another crime.
2. Robbery with Use of Force
3. Aggravated Battery
**All 3 are felonies**
Assualting an elderly man is considered violent and he is a repeat offender. "

" I guess the guy should have just followed the bicyclist home. Then he could have just put a bomb in his mailbox. Because then he would have just gotten 90 day at home with an ankle bracelet! Or better yet, he could have stolen his identity and gotten money out of him for a few years. Then he would only have to pay a fine and no jail time. He obviously isn't a tribune reader, or he would have known what crimes are "OK" to do in LaCrosse county and not get any jail time..... ;-) "
