NEW: San Francisco judge Linda Colfax has released a man who fatally assaulted an 84-year-old because the prison sentence would have a "poor impact" on him.
25-year-old Antoine Watson was granted probation just two months after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and tly assaulted Vicha Ratanapakdee in 2021, which resulted in his death just two days later.
He was acquitted of first-and second-degree murder charges and instead convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Colfax says Watson being in prison would have a "poor impact" on him and didn't think he should be there because he "expressed remorse," according to the SF Chronicle.
Colfax is accused of hiding details from the jury in an apparent effort to help Watson escape prison time.
Infuriating and evil.
