Is it possible to appeal the sentence in a case like this? The consensus seems to be that both the lack of significant jail time and the reasoning (his army career) were nonsense. Obviously they don’t want to set a precedent of responding to social media storms, but there also has to be some means of addressing terrible decisions.
I imagine if he didn’t retire he’d be crucified.
After this and having dug through his previous cases, the man’s an absolutely useless judge and there should be a review of his cases.
Great news
Wonder what his female family members make of how he let the thug off.
It’s important to point out the two things are unrelated. His retirement was planned long before this case. This headline makes it seem as though external pressure forced this decision, but that isn’t the case. I wish it were, but it isn’t.
I don’t get the judge’s reasoning at all, that a custodial sentence would harm his career. Is it reasonable once proven guilty that he ever would be given rank over women, gay or non-white colleagues or have them deployed alongside him? I thought the whole concept of soldiering was be able to trust your comrades with your life and how can anyone do that now? He’s another Tibnin Bridge incident waiting to happen.
A lot of people here missed that his retirement was happening anyway. It’s completely unrelated to the backlash.

I for one am shocked
