According to a June 22, 1995 article in the Tampa Tribune entitled "Evil follows fools on the bench", Judge Rapkin did not sentence Richard Lee Walker to four weekends in jail instead of going to prison for 15 years. He sentenced him to work four weekends on the road gang, but he was not required to sleep at the jail. That would have been too harsh, so let's get real.
By the way, in the article they said Judge Rapkin's name was one to remember come election time. Guess people forgot to remember.
