Short People
I'm a short person. It has never gotten me a break in any area of my life. My law school adviser used to joke that he was trying to get law schools to hire me based on affirmative action for short people.
Now comes a tale from Cheyenne County, Nebraska of a child molester who is getting probation because the sentencing judge thought he was too short for prison. Now that's a break!

Ethan -- And to think: I like to say that UM hired me to _increase_ the average height of the faculty... Maybe they're going in the wrong direction! :-)

Bill O'Reilly has been having a field day with this. See, occasionally Fox News can be useful!

A lot of this story is just the lay media repeating a press release. Apparantly the prosecutor didn't ask for jail time, anyway.
