[Vision2020] Does anyone else find anything wrong with this picture?

A prime example of a right wing Christian Republican judge who must be a doper. He must not be up for reelection.

  Driver Sentenced in Dragging Death
  The Associated Press


  FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - A driver who ran over a man on an interstate highway and dragged him nine miles to his death was sentenced Friday to just over a year in prison. 
  Josuel Galdino, 25, cried throughout the hearing and told the judge he would trade his life if it would bring his victim back. 

  On Feb. 29, Galdino hit Fitsum Gebreegziabher, 27, who had left his car to check on a flat tire on Interstate 95 in Springfield, Va., when he was struck. His body was caught in the front suspension of Galdino's vehicle and was dragged to Galdino's Lorton, Va., home. 

  He telephoned police to say he had hit someone, and officers found the body in the parking lot outside Galdino's town house. 

  Galdino pleaded guilty in June to involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors dropped charges of driving while intoxicated and felony hit-and-run as part of the plea bargain. Galdino has said he did not have alcohol in his system when he hit Galdino. 

  In Fairfax County Circuit Court on Friday for sentencing, Galdino said: "I know I have made a mistake. I'm sorry for everything." 

  Judge Arthur B. Vieregg brushed aside a prosecution request for the maximum 10-year sentence and sentenced Galdino to five years with all but one year and four months suspended. 

  The judge called Galdino "a sensitive and religious young man."
