John McKeon in Montana, story in the Voat post below this one. Prosecutors asked for 25 years for guy raped his 12 year old daughter, Judge McKeon just gave 69 days. A petition has started to impeach him, but he's retiring.
I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, usually only the defendant appeals a sentence. Prosecutors can appeal during the trial, I.e. for permission to submit evidence. But perhaps someone with more legal expertise can weigh in?
