Feds: Ex-judge should go to prison for drug crimes

By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press – Sat Mar 5, 7:09 pm ET
ATLANTA – Federal prosecutors say a former federal judge who pleaded guilty to two drug-related charges involving a stripper should serve at least 15 days in prison.

Prosecutors asked for the punishment for former veteran judge Jack Camp. They said in court documents Friday that prison time will reflect the seriousness of the offense.

Camp is seeking probation, a fine and community service when he is sentenced next week.

Camp resigned in disgrace from U.S. District Court in November when he pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge and two misdemeanors.

The 67-year-old says his decades-long battle with depression and a bicycling accident that caused brain damage led him to use drugs and start seeing a stripper.

Judges and elected officials should be held to a higher standard. They should be given 5 years on top of the sentence for the crime itself. They are in positions of trust, when they break that trust they should have to pay for it.

Wonder if my wife would buy this: Dear, you remember that I had brain surgery, back in '03? And you know that I take a lot of medications? What with my Emphysema, arthritis, collapsed vetabrae and assorted other ailments, right? So, that is why, in my addled state of mind, I brought home Angel and Barbie to rent the spare bedroom. OK?

I highly agree .

And the 5 years should change to fit the crime too .
