He dealt the maximum punishment and even tried to pin "attempted murder" on him to be able to cross that limit. The press got word of it and the result was that it was ruled that the judge was impartial which nearly got the rapist out of jail. It goes to show how dangerous it is to let a judge rule over a case where he's too closely connected to the subject matter.
