Black Judge Gives Armed Robbers Light Sentence Saying Three-Year-Old White Victim is Racist Rightwingnews.com ^ | April 13, 2015 | Warner Todd Huston
A black judge in Kentucky has given two home invaders and armed robbers a light sentence because he feels that their three-year-old white victim was a racist because in her victim statement the little girl said she is now afraid of black people after they broke into her home and threatened her with a gun.
In an outrageous statement from the bench, Louisville Judge Olu Stevens attacked the tiny white toddler and her parents for their racism calling the little girls statement disturbing while at the same time excusing the actions of the criminals who traumatized her. Thats right, this judge was more upset at a little girl for being scared by armed robbers than he was at the armed robbers.
At the sentencing trial of one of the robbers, a victims impact statement written by the little girls mother was entered into evidence. The statement read in part, Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave. It has affected her friendships at school and our relationships with African-American friends.
Then the judge outrageously attacked the little girl saying her statement disgusted him
But when Wallace was brought up for sentencing Feb. 4 in Jefferson Circuit Court, it was the parents, not Wallace, who suffered Judge Olu Stevens wrath.
I am offended.
I am deeply offended that they would be victimized by an individual and express some kind of fear of all black men, he said.
This little girl certainly has been victimized, and she cant help the way she feels, he said. My exception is more with her parents and their accepting that kind of mentality and fostering those type of stereotypes.
The Grays were not in court as Stevens denounced their statements and granted probation to Wallace, whom he said deserved the opportunity to redeem himself.
