Senator John Kennedy questioned Julia M. Lipez, nominee for the United States Circuit Judge for the First Circuit, about an article criticizing her sentencing decisions in domestic violence cases. Kennedy asked, 'Did you read the article they wrote, quote, light sentences send a message that domestic violence does not matter, end quote?' Lipez responded, 'I have read it, Senator. I believe it mischaracterizes a case.' Kennedy pressed further, 'That was our article about you, wasn't it?' Lipez clarified, 'My recollection, Senator, is that it described several different cases. The case that I worked on, the defendant was acquitted by a jury of the most serious conduct, which was not reflected in that article. So, the newspaper got it wrong. That was an op-ed that misunderstood what happened. #SenateHearing #JudgeNominee #JohnKennedy #JudicialFairness #LegalNews
