Clickbait headline not withstanding, do you honestly believe a conservative judge would make the same decision?

Well, if you define "conservative judge" as "someone who would have put this guy in jail," and if "liberal judge" means "someone who would have let him off with no jail time," then your question answers itself.

But if you define "liberal judge" as "someone who supports gay rights, wants to raise taxes on the rich, supports affirmative action, and so forth..." then I don't really know what that judge would do in the case of a sex offender like this.

The DA made the plea deal with the defendant, and the judge accepted it without objection.  I don't know what that tells me about the judge's opinions on various political issues.
