Only in America—but probably not only in Orange County, California—can a judge under house arrest on six counts of possessing child pornography and facing additional charges of child molestation run for re-election to the bench. Virtually unopposed.
Oddsmakers put Judge Ronald C. Kline’s chances of re-election at 50-50, mostly because no other names will be on the ballot, and even though he faces up to 30 years in prison. After Kline was indicted, 11 other candidates entered, but they’ll be write-in candidates.
In a strange twist, pornography was found on Kline’s home and office computers after a hacker got into one of Kline’s computers and forwarded the incriminating information to an Internet pedophile watchdog.
Ain’t America great?
