A columnist critiques a justice system drift toward bending laws under a vague “something” sweeping the nation. Retired Judge Alvin Lichtenstein in Littleton Colo faced criticism for ruling that a man who impersonated a police officer and stripsearched two teens meant no harm and deserved work-release time. The piece notes prior cases where he gave lenient sentences, blaming parents for teens’ improvised behavior and arguing laws can be stretched in urgent circumstances.
