School bus driver who inappropriately abused young girl gets ZERO jail time, sparking outrage

A judge in upstate New York has sparked national outrage with a probation-only sentence for a school bus driver who admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl. But a state court spokesman says the judge was "well within" the sentencing range for a negotiated plea conviction for third-degree rape, which in New York means the victim can't consent to sex because they are under the age of 17.

Jefferson County Supreme Court Judge James McClusky last week sentenced 26-year-old Shane Piche to 10 years of sex offender probation after Piche pleaded guilty to raping the victim at his Watertown home in June

The guilty verdict handed down to killer cop Mohamed Noor over the fatal shooting of Aussie Justine Damond has been questioned in the US.
Noor, 33, faces up to 25 years in jail after he was found guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the death of Australian woman Justine Ruszczyk on July 15, 2017.

He was acquitted of the more serious charge of second degree murder (intentionally killing another person).

“Nearly two years ago my fiance, Justine Damond Ruszczyk, was shot dead in her pyjamas outside our home without warning as she walked up to a police car which she had summoned,” Ms Ruszczyk’s fiance Don Damond told reporters following the verdict.
