I know people here don't like to hear his name, but O'Reilly has been all over this since the day it happened. He's pushing hard to get Jessica's Law passed in Vermont, and other states. He will be addressing it on his show again tonight.
What I find interesting is that Judge Cashman originally sentenced Hulett to only 60 days because they would not offer him treatment in prison, only upon his release, and it was the quickest way to get him treated. However, the Agency of Human Services responded that if Cashman reconsidered his original judgment and sentence Hulett to a more appropriate sentence, they would make sure Hulett got treated while in prison.
Now, if Cashman were to change the sentence, Hulett must consent. Under an agreement between him and Cashman made in August, Hulett may withdraw his guilty plea and proceed to trial if he would be held in prison longer than 90 days.
