"The victim wasn't an opossum. Just a little girl who probably wanted to be a little girl for as long as she could."
"Unfortunately ... no ... tragically, someone who should have been her protector became her predator. By his own admission, this predator 'taught' this little girl things no little girl should know about."
"Last week our elected District Attorney Cliff Newell wondered why our elected Judge Candace Heidelberger sentenced this predator to a just year in the county jail and probation instead of the six years in prison he could have gotten. I point out that they are elected to remind you that if you don't like what they are doing you have the power to 'un-elect' them."
"In a strongly worded and graphic press release, Newell vented his frustration that has probably been building from what he has perceived as a pattern of liberal and inconsistent local court decisions."
"In his press release, Newell pointed out that the sexual abuse began when the victim was just 13 years old. 'It started with the defendant touching the victim's breasts and progressed to oral copulation and digital penetration of the child,' he wrote. 'Later he taught (the victim) how to masturbate him until he ejaculated. The last incident of abuse was when she was 14 years old and about to start high school.'"

The local community is outraged. There will be more to come in the near future.
