Leniency Fails to Shield Violators in Danville Court
Danville ministers urged mercy for summer 1963 restraining order cases. Judge Aken fined 20 defendants and imprisoned 10 days for 20, while one case drew a $25 fine and 10 days. Judge Aiken then reduced sentences to 2 days for four years good behavior in 20 cases and 5 days in the other, citing lack of remorse. The court warned that leniency hinges on genuine contrition and adherence to laws, noting the public’s demand for accountability.
