Judge Howard Coates made a downward departure Thursday when sentencing a Florida father who was convicted of abusing one of his children. Timothy Ferriter was sentenced to 60 months in prison, followed by a five-year probation, for physically abusing his adopted son with a belt and confining him to a crate-sized room. The room only locked from the outside and the child would sometimes have to use a bucket for a bathroom. Ferriter’s wife, Tracy Ferriter, was arrested for similar charges and has yet to go on trial.

This judge needs to be removed asap, Once he said he's the judge and wears the robe lets us know how corrupt these judges are
I wish that these cases could have been around when I was younger
Light sentence despite torturing a child… our justice system is a scam!!!
I'm just glad that that kid was capable of getting out of there. This is how things escalate to Timothy Ferguson level!
30 years no parole. Where is the justice? This abused child has no protection from
now on. He has been left in the hands of the mother and
grandmother, who knew about the abuse and never stopped it. That poor abandoned child.🙏🏻✝️
Judge is almost "apologising" for sentencing this man for his behavior. Who is applying pressure to this judge !
Only 5 years for abusing a child ? This is so wrong.
Tough discipline is different from child abuse 🤬
What a joke
If the boy had not tried to run away, all the years spent in the box will never be known. Who knows what the future would turn out for the son!
This is not justice! Shame on this judge.
Barf sentence.
This judge is making my stomach sick. What a load of manure! He showed the abuser way too much regard. So he changed his sentencing to a lower sentence based on the support the defense received, are you kidding? So was he not listening that a perfect picture was shown in public and friends were never told of the crap they were putting this poor child through and now we know all his kids minus the biological child. Sad, Poor kids.
At least he'll get a small taste of what he made his son endure, maybe them will he repent.
This judge needs voted out. What a horrible man!!!!!
I also blame the mother for not defending this young man.
She chose him, he was her child. If she didnt want he she should have said so.
Who says Timothy wont do something worse, if he is threatened again.
Is the mother going to be accountable
This judge acts like he wants conjugal visits with the defendant. The way he's going on and on making him out to be the victim is scary.
Glad this judge will never be in a courtroom i may ever end up in.. he is all for the father and not what the son went through. He is talking absolute rubbish. He basically gave the father a slap on the wrist and let him get away with it. No justice was served here. This whole court case was a waste of time.
No justice here. BOOOO!
So judge because the children were laughing now and then , you do this ………. just wow
Sorry judge we hv choices he chose to do this no axuses
What an absolutely horrible judge.
OMG WOW>>FLORIDA YOU MUST GET THIS JUDGE OFF THE BENCH AND QUICKLY IM TOTALLY SHOCKED
Glad !! People like them. Should never be allowed to be around a child .. ever again.
5 years is ridiculously light
The judges is mentally sick.
He will be out in 1 to 2 years . No justice at all.
I just couldn't even listen to him.
Narcissists have good days too. Being cruel is exhausting.
He looks like the lead male role in Me, Myself and Irene.
The reason for low sentencing in many cases is, because there are jurors themselves who are phedophiles. Male jurors seem to see this as a smaller problem than a female jurors.
