Consistently. He still goes off and labels Hillary Clinton with words like bigot. That seems to be the pattern going forward. His team is going to try to discipline him a bit but also give him the free rein to do what he does. Well, i would hope that the bigot line was not in the teleprompter.

Okay, were going to get now to the growing fury over a High School Athlete sentenced to probation but no jail time after sexually assaulting two classmates. Abcs Linz Jie Janis is here with the latest. Reporter good morning, george, an online petition calling for the removal of this judge now has more than 14,000 signatures and counting. The petition calls the ruling a slap on the wrist and says the ju known sex offender on a college campus. This morning, thousands of online petitioners are calling for the removal of the judge who sentenced 18yearold david becker to probation instead of prison time, after he was charged with sexually assaulting two classmates. At a plea hearing in june, judge thomas estes siding with beckers lawyer, who argued the former High School Athlete had significant consequences, collateral consequences to simply being charged in the first place. Reporter the judge adding a harsher penalty would slam a lot of doors. His lawyer described him as a model student who deserved to go the college. He was a rising star, everything was going perfect for him. Suddenly, april 20, 2016, hes at a house party. Theres no parents. Theres alcohol. Theres marijuana. Theres testosterone. Theres estrogen. A perfect mix for a nuclear disaster. He makes a bad decision. Reporter becker was arrested in april after two girls said they had been drinking at a house party. They went to bed with him and according to police documents, each said they woke up at separate times to becker assaulting them. Victim one told police becker texted her after the incident. Very sorry about last night. She replied, dont even worry about it, its all good. Later telling investigators she didnt know what else to say. Becker told police he was unaware she was asleep and he denied having contact with victim two. Prosecutors had recommended two years of jail time. Instead, he got to two years probation. I think the judges sympathies are misplaced in this case. I think that this offenders College Career should not be the priority. Reporter his case is being compared to that of stanford swimmer brock turner. In june the former stanford swimmer received six months in jail for sexual assault. Lets talk about this with dan abrams and nancy grace. Dan, let me begin with you and explain the process. They reached a deal. The prosecutors requested two years of jail time. The judge made a different decision. How does that happen . Right. Its not called a plea deal. But hes effectively agreeing to lesser charges. And say, okay, weve reached this effectively agreement. Heres what we would recommend. The judge then also gets what is a probation report. He hears from the victims family. He hears from the victim. He hears from the defendant. Makes a decision. No question this is a lenient decision. This guy should be incredibly appreciative. This is a lucky, lucky young man that hes not serving time based on this crime. With that said, i think the fact that one of the victims probation was very helpful to him. In this case. Nancy. Well, i disagree on so many levels. And what this is called in courthouse parlance is a blind plea. You agree to a plea agreement. You agree that someone is going the plead guilty. Then you go before the judge and both sides are blind as to what the judge is going to sentence. The state here recommended two the defense wanted probation. The reality is, the judge went a step further. He says, well, if you dont drink and you dont do drugs and you dont contact the victims, in two years, the whole thing will be dismissed. Its like it never happened. And dan is right about something. He said that one of the victims said, well, i dont want him to go to jail. You know what . I get it. She is feeling guilty, like its her fault this happened to her. And i cant tell you how much that upsets me. Ive dealt w theyre like, wow, was my skirt too short . Should i have been at that party . Did i have too much to drink . Is it my fault . No, its not her fault. One of the victims went out of state. Why didnt she want to go forward . Thats why you have a prosecutor. You represent the victims. Theyre not supposed to go into court and handle their case themselves. You do what is right. You lead the prosecution. And i think this case should if you cant agree on a jail sentence on a rape case, then take to it a jury. But its very easy to just say this case should have gone to trial. We should have fought this. What happens if hes found not guilty, right . Then theres zero accountability. Then you did your best. Maybe thats not good enough. Maybe in certain cases, the prosecutors are going to say, you know what, for two reasons. Number one, maybe the prosecutors are worried they wont be able to get a conviction. The number two, maybe the victims said, yo we want you to reach an agreement. Dont just go on and say, oh, you know what, they should have taken this to trial, without knowing whats going on in the prosecutors minds. The other thing about this judge, he spent his whole life practically, 30 years, as a public defender. What do you think hes going to do when he gets on the bench . Side with the defendant. All hes worried about is this kid going to college. Now, there are calls to investigate this judge. We have also seen the judge in the stanford case facing calls for removal as well. I dont think you should tar this judge because he served as a public defender and somehow thats the problem. Im not tarring him. He made a bad decision. Okay, i agree. Its a very lenient sentence here. I think its dangerous to start lumping cases in together. We have to evaluate them separately. I think nancy would probably agree with me. That the turner case, on the spectrum, was worse than this one. In the sense that you had eyewitnesses stanford. Right. The stanford case. The possibility of a lot of prison time. I think that case was worse. I dont know. Is one rape worse than another . Nancy, what do judges do every day . Every single day judges have to make decisions. Yes, they do. Right . So theres a spectrum. And this was a bad one. Assault. Theres not aggravated sexual assault. These sort of decisions happen every day. This guy is going to walk free. All we have time for today. Hes not even going to have a record. Were going to amy. They agreed yesterday. Oh, well, todays another day. Coming up on the big board, soccer star hope solo suspended.
