Ousted judge gets 18 months in prison for gun violations (AL)

[davepc]

Ex-judge Stuart DuBose has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for a pair of firearms violations.

The jurist presiding over the case said she did not believe the crimes justified the four-plus years sought by prosecutors.

A jury convicted the former judge in November of possessing guns in violation of a restraining order issued as part of his divorce case, as well as lying about that order on a federal form.

U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose, no relation to the defendant, said the proposed punishment would have sent Stuart DuBose to prison longer than most convicted felons caught with guns.

1. Well, Ms. DuBose

If I was the prosecutor I would say to Ms. DuBose that those in law enforcement / the judicial system need to be held to much higher standards. And that means he should go to jail longer than others caught with guns.
