The Right Way to Hold Judges Accountable (Hint: It's Not an Online Petition)

It's hard to defend any judge who thinks 60 days in jail is an appropriate punishment for a father who raped his 12-year-old daughter. Still, there's something ominous about what seems to be a new pattern: a judge issues a lenient but legal sentence, and the mob descends.

The Legal Intelligencer

Commonwealth v. Moyer, PICS Case No. 16-1231 (C.P. Adams Sept. 7, 2016) Campbell, J. (4 pages).

By | October 21, 2016
Defendant charged and sentenced for a DUI two days before the ruling in Birchfield sought to have her sentence vacated in a timely post-trial petition. The court determined that she had not previously made an issue of her warrantless blood draw, and that unlike in Birchfield no enhanced penalty for a refusal was involved. Relying on the clarification of retroactive application of a new rule set forth in Commonwealth v. Cabeza, the court found that defendant's failure to raise the issue previously, including in her first post-trial petition, prevented the application of Birchfield to her case. The petition to vacate the sentence was denied.
