Senator Galluccio and other offenders

Not that I want to kick a man when he's down, but Today the Cambridge Senator will spend the next six months in home confinement where he can’t touch a drop of booze, but will still be able to attend formal Senate sessions, according to the Herald.

He pleaded guilty this morning to an Oct. 4 hit-and-run accident that injured two people, including a 13-year-old boy.
Under the sentence Nestor handed down, Galluccio also loses his license for five years, must abstain from driving, abstain from alcohol, submit to random drug screenings and pay a $1,000 fine.
Galluccio will be allowed to leave his home to attend formal sessions of the Senate or take a vote and attend church services on Sunday morning with his mother.
Nestor rejected a request from Galluccio’s lawyers to let him attend State House committee and constituent meetings.
“When I mean home confinement, I really mean home confinement,” Nestor said.
“This is a person who should be put to a higher standard,” said Ham. “I am asking for a tough and reasonable sentence because of who he is.”
Galluccio agreed.
“I agree with the Commonwealth. I am held to a higher responsibility,” he said. “I should be held to a higher responsibility.”

The question is... will he resign or asked to leave?

The an accused child rapist’s two-page rap sheet and history of defaults did not stop a district court judge from setting a low $10,000 bail in August - even though the suspect’s own lawyer never objected to the $200,000 bail prosecutors requested, a courtroom audiotape reveals. I won't go into all the gory details, other to say, what the hell was that judge thinking? This case reveals what everyone recognizes as a problem, and yet, nothing is done. IF, this accused rapist had not made bail, another child would have not been harmed, it's that simple. Drug offenders are usually held with extremely high bail, but not a suspected child rapist. They're ought to be a bounty on their heads.
