These words from the NY times article are chilling:

"“I’m disgusted,” said Rob Sanders, the Republican commonwealth’s attorney in Kenton County, near Cincinnati, who had supported Mr. Bevin and donated to his campaign. His office had prosecuted the case against Mr. Schoettle, who was convicted by a jury of rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of a child. Mr. Schoettle had been at the start of a 23-year prison sentence when the outgoing governor deemed the investigation and prosecution into the case “sloppy at best.” He was released on Wednesday.

The victim’s mother, who asked not to be identified in order to protect her daughter’s identity, said that she had been at home making dinner and a milkshake when she got a call from the commonwealth’s attorney’s office on Wednesday night.

“I just picked the blender up and threw it against the wall,” she said in a phone interview. “I still have to scrub the ice cream off my walls.”

She said that her family had only begun to recover from the trial, which wrapped up last year.

“I still haven’t wrapped my mind around it, how is this even possible that he’s walking around scot-free now?” she said. “It scares me to think that he knows he got away with it.”[/quote]
