Holden has been criticized in the past for being too lenient in his sentencing of men who commit crimes against children. In 2016, the judge sentenced Joseph Presley, 23, to five years probation and a month in Greene County Jail for sexually abusing an 8-year-old boy he babysat. A concerned citizen created a Change.org petition to remove Holden from his position following this sentencing, which critics compared to the Brock Turner case, in which Judge Aaron Persky handed Turner, who was caught sexually assaulting a barely conscious woman, a sympathetic, six-month jail sentence.
Somethings wrong with this judge

If you don't, then Facebook knows everyone's DU identity who follows your link, due to "cooperating third parties with whom we have a business relationship" or some such in their privacy notice.

Article focuses on a couple other lenient sentences.
What I would like to know is if the judge has been harsh on African-Americans.
