After losing his re-election bid, Harris County Juvenile Court Judge Glenn Devlin released most juvenile defendants after asking them one question: "Do you plan to kill anyone?"

The kicker is, he was beaten by a Democrat, and liberals are far more lenient than conservative Republicans, so as he saw it, "He was releasing everybody," public defender Steven Halpert told the Houston Chronicle. "Apparently he was saying that's what the voters wanted."

So, he released them until a rescheduled Jan. 4 court date. Who can blame him? The voters fired him for being too tough on crime, I guess.
