Circuit Judge Catherine Remigio’s sentencing of Glenn Nitta borders on ridiculousness (“Ex-athletic director gets probation in theft case,” Star-Advertiser, Nov. 8). To impose no prison time for the crimes he committed is absurd. The message it sends is that you can do the crime and just get a slap on the wrist if you pronounce regret for what you did and have family and friends vouch that you are a good person.
In discussing her views on what Nitta did, she used harsh language and stern rebuke. But then she turns soft and gives him a sentence with no prison time. Auwe! I just cannot comprehend what she was thinking.
