sentence. courtney, i don t know that there are many supporters or those who come in defense of the judge or at least tried to be the devil s advocate, pardon the pun. there s got to be something behind what the judge said. it sounds just atrociously insensitive. was there any merit? did he have any meaning? because he can t talk to us. he says there s an appellate action, he can t comment. that s true. i don t want to speak to what the judge meant when he made certain comments in sentencing, because there is an appellate action. i don t want to speak on his behalf. but i can say this wasn t a personal decision for him. he made this ruling from the bench in a professional capacity. he certainly wasn t trying to make a personal statement as far as mandy s concerned, as far as rape in general is concerned. and so he told the l.a. times that perhaps it was inartful how he put it but he was trying to help you move on with your life and get beyond this. maybe perhaps he worded i
