Judge Robert Adrian, from Adams County in western Illinois, has been harshly criticized for throwing out the conviction of an 18-year-old man who sexually assaulted and raped a 16-year-old girl. The man only spent 148 days in prison instead of the mandatory 4-year sentence. Ana Kasparian and Wosny Lambre discuss on The Young Turks.

The prosecutor in the case said her “heart is bleeding for the victim,” and an organization that helps victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse said Adams County Judge Robert Adrian’s ruling sends a “chilling message to other rape victims that their behavior, not the rapists’ will be judged,” the (Quincy) Herald-Whig reported. On Wednesday, Adrian, apparently angered by the criticism, told another prosecutor appearing before him in an unrelated case to leave his courtroom because the prosecutor had “liked” a comment on Facebook that was critical of the judge." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
