    Give this judge a raise


    Victim's Photo Part of Florida Man's Sentence for Vehicular Homicide


    BARTOW, Fla. — A man who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide will have to display a large picture of his victim in his home after serving two years in prison, a judge has ordered.
    After getting out of prison, Arthur Pierce, 31, will have to prominently display a photograph at least 2 feet wide of his victim, 17-year-old Chelsi Gregory, wherever he is living. Circuit Judge Robert Doyel said below the photograph must be "respectful lettering that says: 'I'm sorry I killed you."'
    Pierce's probation officer will also be allowed to search his residence at any time. If he does not have the photograph displayed, it will be considered a probation violation, Doyel said. An advocate for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Elizabeth Sheetz, requested the photograph be part of Pierce's sentence, according to The Ledger of Lakeland.

    Pierce and his cousin Christopher Pierce, 27, were racing on a busy street on the afternoon of March 24, 2005 when they caused the accident that killed Gregory. Witnesses told police Arthur Pierce was swerving in and out of traffic and driving at speeds of about 120 mph, in a 45 mph zone, when his Cadillac collided with a pickup in which Gregory was a passenger. The prosecutor in the case said alcohol was also a factor, the paper reported.
    A lead investigator in the case died of a heart attack in January, severely hampering the investigation and contributing to Pierce's light sentence. Christopher Pierce is scheduled to be sentenced on April 5.
    Reminds me of the story where the guy was a child molester and his wife and he owned a flower shop ( I think, some type of place) and every day for a year or so when he worked, he had to wear a shirt that said something about him being a registered sex offender.

    Some judges these days. What kind of punishment is that? Either it doesn't go far enough, or it goes too far, depending on your viewpoint. Activist judges like that will be the end of America.

      The "activist judge" label is hilarious.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

          You're right, the sentence isn't hard enough.

            I agree he should be doing time as well. I guess after he got out, this should of happened.

              I would like the sentence if it was 20-40 years, not 2. 2 years for taking an innocent life? Unreal.

                Just two years in prison for killing someone is ridiculous.

                  Pathetic sentence.

                  They should have made him stay in jail for 25 years, with that picture hanging from his jail cell.

                  Remember, Leonard Little killed someone while driving drunk too, and he didn't even get a jail sentence!

                        I think he should have gotten at least 5 years.

                          Ya, I agree....I don't think this went far enough!

                            2 years is pretty long for vehicular homicide isn't it? A lot of dude's I've seen got off with a month at most.

                              I have no clue what's long and what's not.

                              All I know is, if it has the word "homicide" in there (and considering the circumstances of this case), then I don't think any amount of time is good enough.
